Another whale watching season comes to an end and things are seriously slowing down here on the island. It might sound boring, but it's actually quite the opposite if you're a nature fan. Since San Juan Island is located at a more northern latitude, the light in the winter never becomes very harsh during the day because the sun never really gets very high in the sky. This effect can create some fantastic opportunities for photography at any time of day. However it's still hard to beat "the golden hours" - those times around sunrise and sunset where the most dramatic and wonderful lighting can happen. The other morning I was awake very early for work. On my drive past Egg Lake, I came screeching to a halt in my car. Before me lay the most beautiful scene - a lone dock, a glassy calm lake, and the most beautiful colors in the sky which were being reflected on the surface of the lake. I didn't have my big camera with me at the time, only a little point-and-shoot which I keep on hand for "emergencies" (this was one such "emergency"). I am so proud of that little camera. It did the scene justice and now I get to share it with you. Enjoy!
