I was up and on the water early this morning, hoping to get some better shots of the creek. The sun hadn’t come up over the mountains yet, so I wouldn’t have to shoot right into it.
The seagulls were just beginning to stir.
This handsome devil seemed to be checking himself out before he greeted the day.
And, this jellyfish was out and about, looking for breakfast.
We’ve had day after day of bright sunny weather, and today was no exception.
Since there wasn’t much going on at the creek, I decided to head for the entrance, hoping to spot another whale. Along the way, I found Elderberries, which should make the birds and bears happy.
Once I got to the entrance, I was disappointed to see that the whales had apparently moved on. I didn’t spot even one spout. So, I headed back inside. I was feeling really disappointed about the whales, when I spotted some activity on the water near the middle of the channel. When I zoomed in on it, I discovered it was a family of otters! I paddled like crazy hoping to get a shot of them when they reached the shore.
Unfortunately, they hauled out in deep shade, so the photos are not great.
I followed them along the shore as they searched for goodies and played hide and seek with me.
