Here I am sitting on a tree hanging over Mountain Lake. I've taken a lot of photos of reflections at this lake, beautiful ones that have become paintings. It's a pretty little lake on the way to Doe Bay, one of my favorite places on Orcas. I've stayed at Doe Bay more than once, kayaking out to the Pea Pods with a friend one weekend, doing a memorial to his mother. It was lovely. A giant Steller's Sea Lion slide off the rocks and into the water when we passed. Very cool.
One of the numerous San Juan Islands in the Puget Sound. Here is where we landed, the ferry ride from Anacortes about an hour. Sometimes it stops at other islands, so you get to see the shapes and looks of these different communities. I've spent more time on Orcas than the other islands, and I think it is the homiest to me. I've done writting retreats at Kangaroo House and at Moran State Park. I've stayed at Doe Bay and camped in several places. I've been to Mt. Constitution a couple of times.
