| Aren't these colors gorgeous? |
*****************************************
As I wrote on Friday, the latest issue of iLikeCrochet.com is out, and I have some projects in it. As I also wrote, I'll have more to say about them later in the week.
However, I had also created additional content for this issue (including some original artwork) that made it to the editorial cutting floor. While I'm naturally disappointed (and can't publish the content myself for six months), I can show all of you the photographs I took in connection with the article. See, all is never lost when one takes a multidisciplinary approach. Clever gal I am. Talented too, if I do say so myself.
So here's a photo montage, complete with captions, highlighting a fibery outing I took this past May. Part of the reason for the trip was to spotlight how one can use mass transportation instead of private vehicles to get around the greater Puget Sound. All of these photos were taken on a day when I traveled exclusively by bus and ferry. You'll see in a minute why I was very happy I did.

| There is nothing like weathered wood to evoke a great ferry ride feeling prior to departure. Can't you just smell the salty air? |
 |
| This is downtown Langley, WA (on Whidbey Island). I purchased some yarn at a great local yarn store here. It's early morning, so things are relatively quiet. |
 |
| The rain clouds eventually burned off to reveal blue sky. It turned into a perfect afternoon. |
 |
| Ok, and what would a ferry ride back to the mainland be without these guys? |
 |
| And this is why I was so happy to leave the driving to others. This was the traffic scene once I debarked from the bus I took south from the ferry. This is also late Saturday afternoon - not even rush hour. |
 |
| And while George Bailey got in on the yarny act, I was fairly pleased with my purchases. |
 |
| Let me tell you, that Harrisville Shetland is fantabulous. |
It is extremely ironic and disappointing that the bus transportation system on Whidbey Island announced it would be cutting service on the island over this past summer in phases, the last of which occurred this past Saturday. As someone who relies on public transportation by choice, I was sad to hear this. I hope they will find a way to eventually reinstate the service they've cut.
