Long Days Outside

Long Days Outside, originally uploaded by macatay.

Yesterday we left the Inside Passage and traveled back out to more open waters, closer to the open Pacific. Coincidentally, the weather turned fair. So for two days we have enjoyed the distant views and varied marine life that characterize the outer shore. With fair weather, we are also more aware of these longest days of the year. This sunset photo was taken last night at ten, and there was light in the sky until well after eleven. Dawn comes around four in the morning. It reminds me of being a kid - long days playing outside.
