Bliss

Waiting for mother to return, baby harbor seal dreams of good things to come.  The mothers come and go and it's amusing to watch them hoist themselves up out of the water.  The babies now play in the water, too, and return our curious stares with their own wide eyes.

The Orcas are Back!

Two days in a row now a pod of orcas has cruised by -- first heading south then yesterday heading back north. We think they didn't find enough salmon to eat down south so are heading for Hood Canal where they can feast on seals. They were traveling fast, breaking the surface with loud slaps. One in particular had a very tall fin that reflected bright red late afternoon sunlight. My little camera failed to capture any interesting images so I copied this one from Google images.
