Something about fog brings out the quiet in the landscape so much so that sometimes all I want to do is sit and watch the quiet. Photographed while kayaking past one of the innumerable small islets along the west coast of Vancouver Island on a foggy and rainy morning. August, 2015.
With the rain came a quietness that only rain can bring. Looking out into the big Pacific Ocean off the NW coast of Vancouver Island.
The clouds got interesting, as well as the waves, when the afternoon breeze kicked up. Photographed while kayaking on Shoshone Lake in Yellowstone NP.
Is just seems easier to hear when there is less noise.
After 4 days of drizzle, rain, drizzle, rain..a rosy sunset was well…just rosy. Photographed in the Bunsby Islands off the west coast of Vancouver Island, Canada.
A day spent paddling besides just being good clean fun allows you to see things from water level. Yes, these are birds we see from land, but while floating by in a kayak, seeing mergansers, red-necked grebes and bald eagles from the water provides us with a different perspective.

A Red-Necked Grebe pair courting and strengthening their bond.
An ever watchful immature Bald Eagle perched along the shore. All sighted we can see from land but when seen from the water make them just a bit more special.

Some days it seems like we awaken to a world of noise. This was not one of those days. Spring Island, BC.
For the next couple of weeks we will be posting some of our favorite posts from the past as we take a small respite from the digital world.
