Spending time outside, being quiet - biking, walking and sleeping (not driving!) - is allowing us to really experience nature and see some amazing animals - some very unexpected. In B.C. we were visited by an oatmeal-loving raccoon in the night who stole all of our snacks! We awoke in the morning (to pouring rain) to find a trail of oatmeal leading into the forest and a missing saddle bag. Brian found the bag in the woods intact but completely ramsacked. Along the route in B.C we saw sea lions basking in the sun, many, many deer and lots of farm animals.
Getting into Washington state on San Juan Island we joined bird watchers to check out eagles (at very close range), a red-tailed hawk and a kestrel hawk and 2 foxes - a red fox and a grey/ black fox. Biking around San Juan we also saw a camel and a llama kissing and lots of alpaca. From our campsite on San Juan we saw an Orca (killer) whale in the distance. Since getting to Seattle we have seen a bunch of animals right here in the wilds of the city - a seal, beavers, salmon, a great blue heron and baby and mama ducks.
And they all posed so nicely for your pictures!
