It’s the water
Whether it’s a solo kayak trip or a San Juan Islands ferry adventure, summertime in the Northwest draws many to the water.

From kayaking to Kasakhstan
I encountered this kayaker at Cranberry Lake this morning. I asked him if I could take his photo, and he said yes.

From shadows into light
A weekend kayaker moves from shadows into light under Canoe Pass Bridge at Deception Pass.

That summer feelin’

This kayaker was interested in more than a quiet shoreline cruise. He paddled parallel to the waves and then abruptly turned into them. Up, and over! Then do it again. West Beach, Deception Pass State Park.
Modes of transportation
This was a fun shot. Could be a setup for a joke: “A sailboat skipper, a kayaker and a family of three on a paddleboard meet on the bay …” Bowman Bay, midday Monday.
