Pacific Madrone

Magical trees are abundant in the Pacific Northwest. This one lives on Chuckanut Island in the middle of it's own little bay just south of Bellingham. I have kayaked to this island multiple times but today I arrived on one of Hard Drive Marine's landing craft. Mark & I were invited out for a promo photo shoot and the weather was absolutely perfect for it. We love being on the water and have spend most of our lives on or around boats. Neither of us was sure what the plan was exactly but Mark ended up driving one of the smaller boats with a shark on the bow. I was fortunate enough to go for a hike on the island and take photos from up on top of the sandstone sculpted island. 

I have so much on my to-do list but it was definitely worth jumping on this opportunity to get out on the water on one of the warmest winter days we've had so far. I captured some more amazing images and I only hope I have time to edit and do something good with them. I feel very blessed to be living in the Northwest and able to do the things I do.
