Erik and his dad are sailing from Anacortes to Gig Harbor this weekend. I waited under the Deception Pass Bridge in the fog to see them pass by. I have a picture of that too, but I liked the processing I did on this photo. "How to deal with a foggy day. "

Via Flickr:
Just when I was thinking that I hadn't seen many eagles lately, I came across this newly mowed field with at least 30 eagles in field or flying nearby. I think that I can only see 3 in this photo, so you will have to believe me on this. Just had my point and shoot so I will be back and better prepared.

Via Flickr:
I've been teaching for 24 years and this is the first year that I have had the privilege to attend my former student's graduation. I looped with my 5th and 6th grade class so I had two wonderful years with these amazing kids. Each class has a personality. This class was out to save the world. They raised money for Haiti, the victims of the tsunami and taught others about Heifer International. What a great group of kids. I am sure that we have a future president in this group. Can you pick her out?? :)
