I always wanted to go to BC Canada, and Alaska.

Years ago I helped a friend bring back a 28' fishing boat from Ketchikan, Alaska to Bellingham, Washington.
Beautiful scenery, wildlife and interesting native villages the whole way, along with 20' swells south of the Queen Charlotte Islands!:vomit: (well, not quite seasickness..but close!)

I remember some really neat statues in a park, think it was Banff, might have been Jasper. I need to find my photos.

Hm 20 foot swells? We will probably take the car.

@MitchM I love the aerial view with the descriptions. Beautiful place where you live.
Interesting moose antler picture - and the next picture made me laugh.

I'm always very interested whenever I come across some animal droppings. It tells me who was there and about how long ago.
Some droppings I can't identify, so the trail cams help me with that.

One of the turkeys is sleeping in the neighbor's tree tonight. I knew they slept in trees, but never knew they'd go up that high. This one is about 80ft off the ground!

Had a bird drinking out of my birdbath earlier tonight. Last night, the female was over on my neighbor's roof, then I watched it fly up into a tree. That was the first time I've ever seen one fly, and it was pretty cool!

My cat noticed this pretty butterfly first and I grabbed her fast and put her in the house. It stayed around for a long time going to all the lilac blooms. For all I know it's still out there flitting around on that one bush.

Yesterday, I had a male Rose-breasted Grosbeak at the feeder.

But the big surprise came today. I looked out the window and saw Four male Orioles, one female Oriole, and one female Grosbeak! Wow!
