Fisherman Bay and Spencer Spit

Picture
Picture
Jen and Willow on the beach near Fisherman Bay
Willow gets big ideas
The big ideas will wait while they sit
Look at the scenery!
“Willow, why won’t you wear a hat?!”
“Because I don’t want to!”
Hmm... I can pick up rocks. I’ll bet they’re fun to throw too.
Moored off Spencer Spit (Lopez Island)
This is how we walk on land
This is how we get to land
Uphill!
Not easy walking on rocks, is it?
A few clouds moving in
Vision in pink
This is a long walk
Iguazita worries about rising tide
Willow learns to skip
Put one foot in front of the other
I’m free! Now, I can start throwing rocks
and run
and bask in the sun
and pick up more rocks
now I have a collection of rocks
hmmm (thinking)
How can these be of use?
Good question.
Well, let me pick up more rocks while I decide
Aha, I can throw 3 rocks at a time!
4 rocks at a time!
Now, I have no rocks
Except this one
this is a very important rock
I will bonk Daddy on the head with this rock
He smiles, nonetheless
I will run into the tall grass to hide
hard to hide when you’re wearing all pink
but this grass is pretty thick
Can you see me now?
Camoflauge
Where did the tall grass go?
Well, if you can see me, I will smile!
Our boat
Still Our Boat
so picturesque
I bet our boat is enjoying the view too
Willow sees her first ladybug
Interesting!
Dad makes sure Willow is on track
Don’t eat the ladybug
What else is down there?
Daddy tips his hat to the ladybug
Where’s Mommy--oh, still taking pictures (sigh)
Daddy explains the geology of Spencer Spit
Drift
wood
Driftwood
Not just for looking at
Driftwood is the best
A little tough on the soles, though
Maybe it’s best as furniture
This isn’t as comfortable as I thought it would be
Such interesting shapes and textures
I wonder how much of this will fit in the dinghy
This piece looks like a rock
Ok, moving on
Mommy, I see you’re still documenting my exploration
Can I get a little time to myself?
Nevermind
This is much more comfortable than sitting on the log myself
Faster, Daddy, faster
Made it!
Back on board
and underway
we spot
Orcas + a baby Orca! (where?)
Lucky kayakers (Camera battery dies now and Orcas surface.)
