Summer 2025


Rhinoceros Auklet
Photo by Linda
  Humpback whales, orcas, harbor seals, dolphins, bald eagles, and of course rhinoceros auklets, were highlights of my recent trip to Vancouver Island, British Columbia. The scenery alone along the eastern shore is a reason to go. My husband, brother-in-law and I also caught salmon, ling cod, rockfish, and greenling which will keep us in fish until next year. (My nice king salmon put up a good fight!)

A work in progress

Winter/Spring 2025


Photo by Linda
March 2025
  One of my favorite spots to visit when spring first arrives is Turnbull Wildlife Refuge just outside Cheney, WA. It’s only an hour from my house. Once again Turnbull did not disappoint. We’ve had a wet March so the ponds were full and one gathering spot had 13 trumpeter swans. As an added bonus some pintails had arrived to keep them company. If that was all we saw it would have been enough, but there was more. Songbirds had started to arrive and a young moose from last year was snacking on the first buds of spring.
