Our Friends in the Sea

There have not been enough times when I have seen the Orcha.  What a marvelous thing that there are such wonderful images of them at play and as they travel the waters.  Some how there is a feeling of kinship with them.  Not going to go too far with that idea.

How long will be be able to enjoy or share the world with them?  I just don't have answer to that. Does anybody?  Obviously it is troubling to see the health deteriorate as it has been.  Will this take them from us or is it a short term thing?  Again, I don't know.

It is useful as far as knowing more.

The Salish Sea

Clearly, the Puget Sound and adjoining waters are a major part of our region.  It is too easy to simply say things like "there is no place like it" or something of the sort. But, it's true.  As far as I know, this is the only place on this planet.

The term Salish Sea as far as I am concerned should be used more often.  Although, the sea is more than the sound alone.  This map shows what I mean. https://www.seadocsociety.org/about-the-salish-sea/  The link is to the Sea doc society and I recommend it for many reasons including general knowledge.

As a body of water, there are no real boundaries as pointed out by the society.  But, it must be challenging to manage the waters and sea life. One can only hope we go to as many locations as possible to experience each in its own unique way. Every community has a personality.   Look into where you fit and compare it with people you know.

What have I been Doing?

Same old story.  Time moves too quickly and here it is Sept. 2018.  Let me concentrate and decide what part of our NW (North West Places) has me thinking. 

One of the general moods, if that is the word, I have been feeling is one of missing the low to mid 80s as I take my evening walk.  I just like it.  No, there are no plans to relocate to a warmer climate.

Yes, the leaves are starting to turn and yes that is one of my favorite things about being here in the wonderful part of the world.  The chill in the morning air and the cold car seats are back and here for a while.

Having less smoke in the air helps the appreciation of our blue and cloudy at the same time sky.  That's the way it is here in the North West.

Now, let me think about where and what to talk about.
