The first crop of hay is drying in the fields as you read this. And dry it will with a toasty weekend ahead.

Qualifies for a bucket-list-caliber-activity for me. How about you—have you wanted to see this up close and personal?
The new signage in the Mount Maxwell area makes for confident hikers. Remember to stay on the trails!

Early each morning—for a few minutes— this fence puts on a shadow play.

While hiking, I came across an oceanside meadow of these flowers.
And then later, halfway up a mountain a small patch of these tiny guys:


Orcas. A mother and calf swim by at dusk.
A bit far for a good look from shore, even with a long lens. But it was still a special moment! A dozen or so individually swam by over a period of 20 minutes, each surfacing occasionally for a couple of seconds.
The mother and calf were the only two swimming together and they were perfectly synchronized.
