We are taking the virus threat seriously. Older people with "underlying conditions" are particularly at risk. That's us. We are both 76. My wife is undergoing cancer treatment and I am under care for a heart condition. Fortunately, we live on the Sound and it provides stimulation. In the time we have been in self isolation we have seen orca twice and gray whales on a daily basis. I believe the grays we see to be some of "the sounders", the small population which return to Puget Sound on a regular basis. Thee pictures I am posting are unremarkable, but they are shot from home while we are in isolation. There have been three animals. Two stick so close together that they are difficult to distinguish. The first picture shows what I mean.

All baleen whales have double blowholes. This picture I shot earlier shows this.

This means that sometimes you get a heart shaped spout.

Like seeing organisms underwater, in order to see them, you have to bee looking. Many people are oblivious.

Still alive, and enjoying it.
