Our Camano Island trip

Hello,
We are back in Wisconsin, after our trip to Camano Island, Washington. And YES, I finally, after all these years, saw a whale. What an experience.

But first, let me recap our trip. The house we called home when we were there....isn't it beautiful?
And then....our good friends and hosts, Bill and Lauri, on our Island Adventure. They are an awesome couple...here I go again with that word!
And more of our good friends, Glen and Nancy...Glen had a birthday while we were there. Never miss a chance to celebrate someone else's birthday. And the sunset from their front patio.
This seal was a cute thing...he waited till we were close and then lifted his head and tail so I could get a photo.
And the Orca whales. It was SO neat...but alas, while taking photos, I got motion sickness and missed some of the trip. But it was FANTASTIC!!!! Look at these whales. The big one was named Mega. And yes, he WAS mega. His dorsal fin was 6 feet 3 inches tall. On the photo, you only see less than half of the whole whale.
We also saw an eagle, another highlight for me...he was trying for all he was worth to get his catch up in the air.
Well, the trip was great...got a lot of rest, which we needed, and saw some good friends and shared meals with some great people.

If you want to see some of the photos the people take who run the trip, go to: http://blog.island-adventures.com/ They have a day by day blog of what they saw and when. And they tell you a bit about the whales. Check The Whale Report, and go to Tuesday, June 8th, for the day we went.

Again, we were able to see and appreciate all of God's beauty and enjoy the wonder of all the fantastic things He has created. The power of the ocean, the majesty of the mountains, the glory of all His creation, it holds you in awe of what God really is. Yes, HE IS AWESOME.
