    Happy 4th of July to you, OC and your families. Your going to miss a BBQ at Lisa’s tonight and fire works at the boat ramp. But I’m sure you will have a fantastic show up there as well. Okay I saw this picture before. How do you change the color like that? It’s breathtaking.

      Thom — it’s a different picture and God changed the color. It’s called “sunset.” I am sure he’s glad you approve. ;)

      If you scroll down and look at the other pic, you can tell I took this one from a completely different part of San Juan Straight. I was on a ferry boat crossing the Sound.

  2. It’s amazing to think that’s a real place—I wonder if I stood there, if I would simply be so struck by the beauty of it I’d completely forget the camera in my hands! The glow the sunset’s giving to the water is just lovely.

    I hope you’re having a wonderful holiday today!

      Susan — at first I was just captivated by the site, but luckily it lasted long enough that I came to my senses, jumped from my seat, rushed to the bow of the ferry and took this shot.

  3. Forgot to ask Quilly: do you employ Thom as a straight man in the comments, or is it coming out naturally? Reading his comments and your replies on this blog, are some of the most fun moments I’ve had in a long time.

    It’s the 5th here but not too late to wish you a happy 4th! I love the way you respond to comments on your blog, but I never have time to go back to mine to see what’s happening! I’ll send you an email asking for advice!

    • Quilly says:

      Brenda — if you sent the email, I didn’t get it! Keep in mind, as I rule I only put up one post a day. I think at the rate you post, keeping up would be more difficult.

    • Quilly says:

      Shelly — I almost forgot to look. I was watching where the ferry was going, and only belatedly remembered that I’d have to look over my shoulder to see the mountain. And I’m glad I turned around because it was at it’s stunning best.

  13. A Happy belated 4th July from across the pond.

    I’m glad you had a great day.
    What an awesome shot.
    I just would love to sit there and enjoy.

    • Quilly says:

      Nicole — so would I, but the Ferry keeps moving and soon it goes around an island and the mountain disappears. Alas. I would have liked to got a progression of sundown photos.
