Oak Harbor Marina

I don't know why, but whenever I get around water I start looking for all these reflection shots.  It's just something I have to get out of my system, over and over again.  Saturday was no exception.  I always look for a scene I can turn upside down, and this was my best option.  I think the building with the blue roof is a restaurant near the Oak Harbor Marina; I took the photo from pretty far out on the dock.  I wasn't so happy with the amount of water movement near the shore, which I think was caused by some ducks further down the harbor.  I like the calmer water reflection in the sky better.  I waited a bit to see if the water would settle down but it never did.

The Shore of Salish Sea

I had the whole day to drive around Whidbey Island while my son was at a high school event up there on Saturday, so I decided to drive to the top and check out the wildlife at Joseph Whidbey State Park.  It was closed for the season though, so I just parked at the edge of the gate with the rest of the visitors and walked along the shoreline for a while.  I left my tripod at home, so I had no business taking this slow shutter speed photo handheld (sorry for the blur!) but did it anyway just because it was interesting.

Quietly Reflecting

Along the shores of Langley's South Whidbey Marina on Whidbey Island last Saturday.
