"Wick's End" high above Holmes Harbor

Today we were invited to Whidbey Island Sketchers member Debbie's lovely summer home on the shore of Holmes Harbor in Freeland. We were greeted when we arrived by Dexter the doggie and his green tennis ball, which he wanted thrown real bad, a whole lot! It was such a beautiful view - sparkling water, the Olympic Mountains sharp and clear, deep blue sky, rhododendron trees, lilacs, green, green lawn, and a huge metal gong hung from two trees which, when struck with a mallet, produced a deep, sonorous note. And of course there was good food, good friends, and, oh, some wine. Great fun!
