Breezy Point

A few pics from trips up to our place on Camano Island...


A breezy day at Breezy Point. 


 One of Aaron's favorite places to take a nap:

 In the spring we see schools of baitfish (maybe herring or candlefish) moving through.  You usually can tell by all the birds and seals in the immediate vicinity.  We also finally saw a grey whale going by this spring with a big spout.  There had been lots of reports from the neighbors but we always seemed to miss them.



Another breezy day at Breezy Point.

We planted baby clams in our tide flats a year or two ago.  We'll see if it works.

 Lots of fresh crab.








Every once in a while we see a pod of transient orcas pass by our back yard.  They are different than resident orcas in that they feed on marine mammals rather than salmon.  They move quickly and quietly.  Woe to the poor seal who ends up in their path.


The summer of 2016 there were a lot of forest fires in the area which made for some interesting sunsets.
