My one room Orcas Cabin is on the water's edge. I frequently glance up from my drawing table to see what is happening on the heavily traveled channel. I see ducks, screeching birds swooping down over schools of herring, the periodic seal or seal lion and tug boats laboriously pulling enormous log rafts through the narrow body of water. On other occasions small drift logs glide silently along carrying a few hitchhikers. In this image, a cormorant, drying his spread out wings, is joined by two gulls for the ride.
