Mount Finlayson - April 7, 2022

 Kay and I had a delightful explore in the San Juan Island National Historical Park to help celebrate  our 50th wedding anniversary. The wind and rain held off to make for a very pleasant day. We were back to the hotel in time to take a short nap before we went out and enjoyed a delightful meal at Duck Soup.

Colockum Wildlife Area - March 31, 2023

Kay, Kathy, Michael and I returned to this area to avoid the snow in parts further west. I enjoy this open sage steppe environment and this time we actually saw some wildlife.






These big horn sheep kept a watchful eye on us.
