Too Busy

Salmon Berries

I’ve been really busy these past few weeks. Work has been very steady, my boat trailer is broke down on the side of the road, I’m headed for vacation next week, late night Fire & EMS calls, then trying to keep sane by squeezing in hiking, kite boarding and music is leaving me with not much time left.

I did manage to get a few photos the past few days that I like. The Salmon Berries are starting to get ripe and ready for picking. I’m going to miss berry season this year. I usually make a few jellies and syrups from the salmon and blue berries.  if you click the image, it should open a larger version.  Then depending on your browser you may be able to see it in an even larger version by clicking on it again.

The image below is of the sun rise this morning.  Whats that saying… Red skies at night, sailors delight, red skies in the morning, heed the warning… or something like that.

I have a few things left to do before I go on vacation, but I think I’m about ready.  I’ m surprised that this adventure came together as quick and easily (and by easily I mean affordable) for such a short planning time.

Summer has been pretty good so far this year.  I have not had a chance to go camping but I have got a lot of fishing and hiking in.  Were having a fair number of tourists and visitors this year, lots of folks coming in on the ferry to tour the island.  Several hikers and campers have come out to explore the island as well.  The weather has been exceptionally well as far as I’m concerned.  Plenty of was blue skies and calm winds.  (there is always room for more though).

Even though posts have been sparse here lately, this week I’ll try and get a few more.  After the weekend it could be a month before I get a change to post again.
