Whale Report and Pictures April 27

This gray whale was our visitor through the Saratoga Passage last night just before 7pm. We have had the privilege of seeing whales feed in this area many times before but I, personally, have never seen one this close to shore. In the last picture (above) you can see the pup barking somewhat frantically at the whale (that has just submerged by the pilings). It was really quite a funny scene. The whale fed for at least an hour, rolled around alot and even showed its tail several times. What a sight!

Ebey Everlasting

Ebey Everlasting
Ebey is a National Reserve on Whidbey island and also happens to be the nations first historical reserve. It is home to 400 historical buildings and also contains numerous working farms that provide acres of beautiful fields. It is truly a sight to be seen!

The Mighty Gray

The Mighty Gray

This is one of our friendly neighbors just passing through the Saratoga Passage (between Whidbey Island and Camano Island). It is just another reason that Spring is one of my favorite times of the year!

This image is in honor of the "Welcome the Whales" day, taking place in Langley this weekend (4/24/10).

Meet Me at Sunrise

Meet Me at Sunrise is a photograph I took while holding the camera in one hand and a half-full cup of coffee in the other. I don't own a filter and the colors you see here are the same colors I saw that beautiful morning. So often, I am amazed and bedazzeled by the colors that appear before me in the morning's light. You will simply have to trust that beyond that misty bank of fog, lies Camano Island.
