Here are some geese I captured while kayaking on Sammamish about 2 years ago. I liked it cause they look like they are walking on water.

Late hike outs from the QIN nations Silver streams during the Fall can reward you with sun sets like these! Whale creek meets the ocean. 3 miles south of the Queets mouth.

One of my favorite places in the world. Pristine!

SWEET pictures already guys.  I can see this is going to be another banner contest this month. 

Yeah Miles, I bet we can see some water pics then as all the roads wash out.  Maybe the drought is over.
