Don't get your camera wet


Today I used Kenzie's (my 5 year olds) 4 megapixle camera, whilest we paddle around Egg Lake, I have a waterproof Pentax camera on order for father's day, but in the meantime, I risk hers while taking a look at this local pond...
We had fun, the "used" kyak needed some fine tuning, and once home, I dropped it in our pond, which is titled Bacon Lake, here we have less vegetation, and less wind...
It's a nice place for paddleboats..

Frogs


There everywhere this year, and for each one...
there are about 100 tadpoles
I don't know what will come of the other critters in the pond.
Seems each year, the cycles around the waterworld change.
This year, its bullfrog abundance!

Silent Hunters


Two years ago, I was fortunate to be in the right place at the right time, I have a link to several photos of the transient Orcas, doing battle with a Stellar Sea Lion.... You can view these images here.

Are They Here Yet?


Yesterday I took the new Kyak into Friday Harbor, and paddled from the shipyard cove to the fuel dock and back. I envision going out to see the whales, but in that, this boat is an open cockpit, sit atop style, I am sure I will need perfectly calm conditions, before I venture out to meet any possibilities of an "Orca Encounter"

Washington State Ferries


I have been told it's the largest Ferry system in the world, which covers our Northwest waters.
I like the clouds sitting above this one as it heads towards our harbor.

Paddle Kayak?


I brought home a new toy today....found in a customer's yard...
she has two, and this thing rips across the pond
It's made by Hobie, and uses paddleboat technology. Click here to check out the Hobie kyak models

Red Chair


It's nice to appreciate the work other's put into their homes and gardens.. I didn't get close enough to this chair, but I might just assume, its made out of a plastic!

June is indeed a wonderful time, to put out a new chair, and invite your guest to come and relax for the season.... me? I'll just get out the pressure washer, and knock the skuzz off the ones I bring home after other's purchase their new ones!
