Whidbey Island With My Sister - Deception Pass


Deception Pass is at the northern end of Whidbey Island. 
North Beach in the state park has a beautiful view of the bridges that connect Whidbey & Fidalgo Islands.


My sister and I got a bit adventurous and climbed on a very tall tree that had fallen. We talked about climbing it to the top but decided it would be too difficult for Joe to retrieve us if we fell off the tree. The tree had a wide trunk and had nicely placed branches so it was fairly easy to walk on.
Joe & my sister - I'm less than half way up the tree at this point

 Deception Pass from Fidalgo Island


It was interesting to watch the mixing of the currents. 
According to this article two different tides meet at this point.

All day we could see snowcapped mountains off in the distance. What beauty!
