Scenes from the Great Northwest

We're back from our week on Orcas Island in Washington. Beautiful spot; I'd recommend it to anyone. The first shot above is a little island we could see from the house at sunset--a popular kayaking destination (that's two of our party in the boat but I'm not sure who). Then you see Bonnie, Susan, and Mike in a feeding frenzy over crabs just pulled out of the Strait and cooked in sea water. Best crab ever, as you can see from the evident pleasure. Oh, and there were killer whales, though our tour boat had to travel for nearly two hours to catch up to the pod. The fin you see here is about 6 feet high. Average daytime high while we were there: about 65. Sweet!
