I know... Get to the photos!
We went to deception pass to watch the torrid water from the bridge. It is always an amazing sight. This time I was happily given the opportunity to photograph two Kayakers going through some rough water very close to shore.
Heading back towards Seattle, the traffic was amazingly heavy and we saw THOUSANDS of motorcycles through the weekend. It was a annual event called the Skagit Valley Oyster Run. Jesse James, custom motorcycle builder and Monster Garage (TV show) rebel was there. I was told that the OCC Paul Tuttle Sr and Jr all the way from New York were there too. The year 2007 brought over 15000 bikes to the Oyster Run, I have no doubt they broke that record with the great weather and celebrities making the run. My favorite thing about seeing so so many bikes is I did not see on bike pulled over. The police had an overwhelming presence but all I saw all weekend was people in cars getting stopped for being stupid. Sorry no bike photos, I had to drive most of the weekend, let me tell you there were some nice rides on the road!!!
So on with the show!!
Just like the sign says, a wild heard of Roosevelt Elk that comes down to the meadow on an almost daily basis. The evening I was there... NO ELK :-(
Ferry going between islands heading to BC I believe.
Kayaker having fun
This Western Red Cedar was estimated to be over 200 years old when it was still growing then killed by fire. The trees got over a hundred feet tall and big enough to drive a car through.
We were getting ready to head south for a long trip (12 hrs stop and go) back to Oregon when I saw this photo op! I think it turned out fairly nice.
Kevin, my son wanted to stop and see his ex-girlfriends kids. We all miss them and It was great to see them again
Paragliding classes in session while we were visiting the kids. It was fun watching them jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Where were you when you took the ferry and kyak pix? Ferry could have been going to Orca Isl. and point west, but ultimately B.C. I miss the Puget Sound.
Photos of the water was at Deception pass on the bridge. It was an awesome day!
