Summer has sadly slipped away, considering the temperatures are starting to drop, the leaves are beginning to change, and the start of fall is just around the corner. We made the best of one of our last days by visiting beautiful Second Beach in La Push. It never gets old to day trip to the ocean.

Of course, I tended to play a bit with some of my camera, enjoying the last of it all.

As sad as we were to watch summer slip away, especially when I drove Maddy to school for the first day, God reminded me how awesome of a place we live in and how beautiful our Mother Earth is. After I dropped her off and was enjoying my last day with Jaxson before I headed back to work the next day, I drove to the Ediz Hook and was lucky to watch a pod of orcas feast on salmon in our harbor for well over four hours. It was incredible. We typically do not see orcas in the harbor. They were beautiful. I was kicking myself, however, for not having my zoom lens with me. Here are the shots I was able to capture of these majestic creatures.
 
This is in the Strait of Juan De Fuca and I saw a large dorsal fin as I was driving the Hook. I can't express how excited I was!
   
After researching a bit more, these guys are some of the resident orcas. Resident Orcas feed on fish while Biggs or Transients eat mammals. Pretty cool!
