My wife and I have been discussing what it would look like to start an #IntentionalCommunity / #cohousing project here in the #SalishSea area (US side). There are existing communities that I am looking forward to visiting, but we want to focus our efforts with folks who are #Covid cautious right now. Throwing the question into the fediverse- is this something folks are interested in?
Feb 18 is #WorldWhaleDay
We can observe two different ecotypes of orcas in the Salish Sea: the transient and the resident orcas. The transient orcas travel between California and Alaska while the resident orcas live in the Salish Sea and are listed as endangered.
Another photo taken early in the morning during my private photo tour. In the winter we often have thick fog at night and early morning. As we walk in the forest, we can hear water drops from the fog dripping from the trees. Time to be quiet and listen to the rainforest and all the creatures who inhabited it.
For #30DayMapChallenge#Day17's theme of "Flow", I shared this map of major rivers and ocean surface circulation patterns in the Salish Sea.
The flow of freshwater from land to sea and the flow of marine water from the Pacific Ocean into the Salish Sea create a complex pattern of estuarine circulation.
