Whale Watching and More in Seattle in the Spring
Contributed By Laura Lee Winger
I clicked the shutter button, but the shot took too late. The baby orca had completed its flip and disappeared back into the deep blue waters before my camera could capture the moment. While we had been observing a family of about twenty-five killer whales for over an hour, the baby only did flips two or three times, and they were so infrequent it was difficult to stay focused on capturing the perfect image.

Father Son Bonding Washington DC
As a World War II veteran, my father really wanted to start the monument tour with the memorial to honor the men who risked their lives in the last World War.

This is a journey that I made with my own dad after he retired. It was something that he requested we do because he’d always wanted to visit this area. Although when people think of Virginia, images of Virginia Beach tend to come to mind, this is an altogether different kind of vacation. Lying on a beach is nice and has its place, but after you’re done, there aren’t memories to last a lifetime. This particular trip that I took my father on, he continues to rave to his friends about, so I think that it was as indelible for him as it was for me.
