January is always a great month for sunrises.
February has great sunsets.
The color in the sky gives was to color on the ground. In March fawn lilies dominate.
April is when camas takes over.
May paintbrush comes into its own after starting to bloom in March.
June has prickly pear cactus and fireweed.
July is seal pupping time with pups riding on moms' backs.
August has billowy clouds and colorful sunsets.
September also has colorful sunrises. On the equinoxes the sun rises straight down Wasp Passage.
October has spectacular morning light on the Pacific madrones.
November and December have wind storms (willow across the trail),
king (high) tides with the dinghy sometimes filled with water and logs
sometimes on top of the floating logs.
But like the other months, also flat seas with beautiful, calming sunsets.
HAPPY NEW YEAR from YELLOW ISLAND
