Living at the foot of the Olympic Mountains you wouldn’t think I’d get that excited by more mountains. But this view from Homer Bay was filled with so many layers. And I’m a sucker for layers.
Faraway Friday-Alaska
Running the Sol Duc
Watching these salmon run the rapids up the Sol Duc River to spawn was jaw dropping. They sure are determined. They’d launch and splat on the wall just to the right of this salmon. You could hear the slap from hundreds of feet away. Then they’d get swept back down the rapids…It’s gotta be frustrating even for a fish!
Wildlife Wednesday
I just want one (for now anyway)

When it itches…scratch it
My resident eagle on the old dock post.

The Kinetic Race had an interesting rescue crew. Man-blow up wife-dog
Flying Monkey from Wizard of Oz
Kayaker with blow up couple…
Kinetic Race–Splash Down
The first participant tipped over. He was actually trying to tip as that is how his vehicle floats. HOWEVER, all his floats fell off and he sunk.
The Viking boat did well–but then again it was a boat!
The Top Hats had to back up…they forgot to put their pontoons down…Then they got stuck before the water. (look at her expression-it’s priceless!)
The Kanuks did well. You can see the end of the dock where are the spectators are. That’s where all the teams are headed. You can see a ferry in the background.
