Taylor Point LIghthouse provides a beacon for boaters in the shallow and rocky waters off Chuckanut Drive near Anacortes, WA . Very picturesque with the san Juan Islands looming in the background. The stone tower is only about 25' tall but highly visible to boaters. Located at the Taylor Shellfish Farms.
This past month I was lucky enough to see orcas in the wild for the second time. They blew my mind up in Washington just as much as they did in Alaska last year. I honestly have no words to describe how magical it is to see them in the wild. I guess now I need to just base all our trips around where I can see orcas!
We saw a couple different family pods but a few of these photos are of Galiano who is a member of the T18 Bigg’s Killer Whale family. His massive dorsal fin is 6ft tall! Orcas are matriarchal where females run the show but there’s something so breathtaking about seeing a dorsal fin that size slicing through the water so gracefully.
Sound on for the last video to hear me absolutely losing my shit at Galiano coming up so close to us.
