For my birthday, I treated myself to a whale watching trip this morning. It was spectacular, so many whales to see, swimming and eating and playing. I need to do it again already. Here are a few of my favorite images.
This is actually the very first photo I took in this year's colors photo challenge, back when I was looking for Aquamarine. It wasn't at close to a match, but I held onto it, hoping it'd come into use later. I think it works nicely for sky blue.
Over Labor Day weekend on my traditional trip to Seattle, Galen and I decided to take a short destination trip first and headed out to Port Townsend (see earlier posts http://blog.cyrenahillyard.com/2011/08/port-townsend-wa.html and http://blog.cyrenahillyard.com/2011/09/western-washington-from-spit-to.html from selects from that trip). On the way back we took the ferry to Whidbey Island so we could drive over Deception Pass.
