The soil is very shallow here
Still supports a healthy forest
Ship nearby
One of many benches along the hike
Taking advantage of the moment
Plants could be devil's club or skunk cabbage…..both used for medicinal purposes
Rugged terrain
OK, give me a few minutes
Deadfall made the going slow
Well-groomed path
No light, little growth
Peaceful place
Also very damp
Greenery pops up anywhere
Looking for little critters
No birds in here
A pond
Two ponds here
A small squirrel
Alpine flowers
Freshwater pond
View of the gangway from up high
Another fishing boat
Lots of boat traffic
The rain is coming
Eagle perched up high
Another eagle is nearby
Always on watch
The fog is creeping in
There is an eagle in this photo….. find it?
He's in the rocks with a fish
He's dragging his catch away from the water
Too heavy to fly with it
Will have to eat it down here
Now he blends in with the rocks
The head and tail give him away
Hiding his catch
Leaving the pier
The mate is still in the treetops
Left on time – 2pm
Heading into darker areas
Catwalk to the rope anchors
Tree trunks on the shore
Looking for fish jumping
A fleet of fishing boats on this point
We did see fish jumping here
Another boat
More boats
Must be a good spot
Fishing off the point
Leaving the islands of this passage
NCL's Sun
Many birds flying
A flock
Not sure the type of bird
Heading west now
Weaving around the outer islands
Isolated
No sign of life
Scenic cruising
Close to Elfin Cove
Coming out into the gulf
Windblown cliffs
Rocky beach
Windy and cool
Also another good fishing spot
Open seas
Steep cliffs
Wind and water erosion
Looked like a waterfall
The moon appeared after midnight
Seen from our window
Sometime around 2am
