Filer and his equine companion fly over a jump.

Horses as far as the eye could see.

Hundreds of steeds (and their riders) trotted into competition July 7-9 at the 41st annual Whidbey Island Horse Trials.

A scan of the results shows two Coupeville riders, Cynthia Bales and Tami Jones, with Bayles riding Accolade to a first-place finish in her division.

There were 19 divisions overall, with 291 riders involved.

Players stand at attention during the opening flag salute.

“You dare to run … ON ME????????”

   Coaches (l to r) Aaron Lucero, Lark Gustafson and Mike Peters join the pregame festivities.

   Adrian Burrows, daughter of legendary former CHS hoops star Jaime Rasmussen, shows off the same killer glare her mom once used to ruffle foes.

Little League playoff action is booming.

As June rolls to a close, Central Whidbey’s softball and baseball squads are returning to the diamond for All-Star action, and photographer John Fisken is likely to be on the scene.

The photos above come from a game Friday between CWLL and North Whidbey at Volunteer Park in Oak Harbor.

The ever-crafty Stella Johnson drops a bunt on the unsuspecting defense.

Kylie Van Velkinburgh is ready to rake.

   You don’t get past Audrianna Shaw if you don’t know the password. Spoiler: the runner did NOT know the password.

Mollie Bailey anchors the Central Whidbey defense.

Coral Caveness, about to beat the snot out of the softball.

   Calm and cool in the heat of the moment, it’s unflappable coach Mimi Johnson at work.

Marenna Rebischke-Smith snags an incoming throw.

They can’t be beat.

The Central Whidbey Little League Juniors softball squad swept to a district crown Saturday, while still finding time to shine in the photo game.

Sails, ahoy!!

   There be boats, big boats, in the waters off Whidbey Island. (John Fisken photos)

It’s not the size of the boat, but the motion in the ocean (that it makes).

The boats, and the onlookers, crowd for position.

Let the guns rip.

The waters off Whidbey were hoppin’ Tuesday afternoon.

A rare parade of tall boats sailed through Admiralty Inlet on their way to the Festival of Sail in Tacoma.

The boats, which regularly plied the waters in these parts in the 19th century, brought out gawkers galore.

One of those onlookers was local paparazzi John Fisken, who brought his camera to the show and was kind enough to pass on the pics seen above.

After graduating (capping a K-12 run in Cow Town for 19 of them), half the class stayed together for a grad night party in Seattle.

Ever-industrious paparazzi John Fisken was there for it all, and the photos above are courtesy him.
