Photo of the Day

05-03Colleen Howe of Mitchell Bay Farm & Nursery is an expert on bees.

 Photo by Matt Pranger

 

This year's photo of the Day series will be a bit different from last year's. The same rules - must be taken this year and in the county - apply with one exception. Once a week, a historical photo along with a link to a 1913 copy of San Juan Islander will be posted as the Photo of the Day. I hope you enjoy this new feature.

I had been lucky because when I lost consciousness, I slumped against the wall on my left instead of falling to the right and bouncing on the concrete floor. I was seen at…
