The small Willow Island with larger Blakely Island behind it, as seen from the San Juan Islands ferry. While this image was taken in May of 2022, the clouds are typical for fall and winter in this area.

Seattle Mariners fan here... I agree. However, I am really enjoying watching what the Blue Jays are doing in the World Series. What a great team to watch and root for! I hope they win it in game 6.

Here is another image from upper Moses Coulee in central Washington. This image was taken in the early morning, and looks down the Coulee from the terminal moraine of a lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet from our last ice age (about 14,000 years ago).

The following image was taken in upper Moses Coulee in central Washington. Looking northward (up the coulee), it shows the terminal moraine, and glacial outflow channels, of a lobe of the Cordilleran ice sheet from our last ice age (about 14,000 years ago). Geologically, this is a recent event.

Saratoga Passage sunset, taken from Camano Island State Park on 9/24/2022. In the distance, you first see Whidbey Island (thin black line), then you see the Olympic Mountains. Orca Whales, and Gray Whales, can be spotted in this passage.

Here is another image depicting the transition to winter in the Pacific North Wet. This one is based on an image of the Seattle skyline that I took about eight years ago.

In the Pacific North Wet, the "big dark" is nearly upon on. Starting Thursday, we are due to receive our first atmospheric river, with heavy rains and strong winds. The image below depicts this upcoming time of year. Image is based on a winter photo taken along the Padilla Bay shore trail.
