BEACHES, EAGLES, DRIFTWOOD AND STUFF

Working regularly seems to cut into the time available to take pictures, but we were still able to get out and about for a few photos.

This was taken one morning as I was walking to work - the sun came out and was shining on the town of Old Masset.  It only lasted for a few minutes, and then the rain started again.

The sun came out later in the day, and I was able to drive to Old Masset.  This totem pole was too tall to get it all into one picture, but I thought that the top of it was interesting.

A couple of days later, we were able to get out again.  As you can see, it was raining and overcast, but this picture of Yakan Point seemed like a good one.

There were a couple of Eagles sitting on a large piece of driftwood, and keeping an eye on us.

There was lots of debris on the beach.

Some of the debris was large enough to capture Carolyn.  But, this was "designer debris" - notice the color coordination for the toque and the fishnet!

I'm not sure if we were intruding on some secret driftwood ceremony, but you have to admit that it looks like fun!

Looks like a serpent in the water.

This piece of driftwood is hanging on the side of a garage.  Amazing what some of the driftwood can look like - do you think that this is salmon country?

This restaurant is amazing - the "Trouthouse Reataurant".  The chef is a teacher of culinary arts here in Haida Gwaii.

We even had some entertainment at the restaurant - the guy on the ukulele is a teacher who is offering a course featuring carpentry and incorporating native carving.  His son is the dancer in the background.

So, after stuffing our faces with lots of good food and being entertained, we drove past the harbour to go back into Masset.

I guess we didn't have enough to eat and drink at the Trouthouse, so we stopped for a latte at The Ground.

It's a cozy place, and they feature some of the local artists.


And that was all there was for a while.
