Orcas Island Women celebrate the beautiful day and significant date

Local visual artist Susan Slapin sent out a call to Orcas Island women to gather at Waterfront Park last Sunday for a photograph celebrating the date — 10/10/10.

Answering Slapin’s admittedly last-minute call were:

  • Samara Shaw near tree on left, seated on ground;
  • Angelica Mayo on table;
  • Marlia Starwater Dunsmore with skirt, center;
  • Ellen Wherette, “prancing along highly spirited from the right;”
  • “Deb?”  In rear, facing right;
  • Luann Pamatian, right rear, facing left.
Slapin took the picture and says, “I sense more on the horizon, maybe once a year?”
Or maybe 11:11 a.m. (and p.m.?) on Nov. 11, 2011.
