Orcas Island

We went from the drama and stunning beauty of Canada to the quiet, peaceful beauty of Orcas Island. We read, we slept, we ate, we watched the ferries go back and forth, we shared our dreams. It was everything I had hoped for and more.

We went whale watching and were blessed to be surrounded by all 3 resident pods of Orcas. J, K and L. We saw entire families from grannies to the new baby just one month old. It was beyond unreal. We shared this day with 18 other people who I hope will enjoy the images I managed to capture.

Blackberry Beach Cabins in Olga was a place to renew, relax, reflect!! There are just 2 cottages and one wonderful owner. If you are interested here is a link to Carol Jo's website: http://www.blackberrybeach.com/

these shots are as lovely and dynamic as the couple in the picture., They will prevail like the rocks and the mountains and the oceans and the wildlife that inhabit them. Helen A
