The sun is settling behind Salt Spring island and there is a deep sense of peace and calm over the water. There are no boats in sight but I feel a deep tumble as if there is a freighter ont he way. Even the birds are silent. The only visible movement for miles is the cormorants returning to their roost at the bottom of the bluff. Flying low over the water in a perfect formation of precision maneuvers and acrobatics. Not even the professional stunt pilots in a 9 flight diamond formation could match nature. Although birds usually do not emit timed streams of smoke from their tail feathers. I nearly forgot to mention the display the whales put on today. Riding with the current, porpoising, breaching, and cartwheeling as they hit the tidal wall in front of the point at 35 mph. It was incredible to witness and aside from all of the visitors I know that the whales must of had a blast. Riding a 7+ knot current full of fish. Who could ask for anything more.
