April 4, 2015 - Pull! Sugar Sprint



























At communities across the country kids sprint for plastic egg-shaped containers filled with sugar.  At Whidbey Island's Holmes Harbor Rod and Gun Club, home of the Pine Tree Room, the range is closed to firearms for the day and opened to the children of the Whidbey Island.  The sprint starts at the shooting stations and the kids go down range through a carpet of broken orange clay trap targets into the woods below to scoop up as many eggs as they can find.

January 16, 2015 - 12th Man Flag




























On the "Blue Friday" before the NFC Championship game, the standard that represents the fans of the Seattle Seahawks flies on top of a Space Needle lit in Seahawk colors and high above a lit 12 on the Gates Foundation.  The 25 foot x 35 foot flag was raised earlier this day by Hall of Fame left tackle Walter Jones.
