One of my favorite places

One of my favorite places is Deception Pass. On the north end of Whidbey Island WA, this is one of 2 ways onto the island, the other is the ferry on the south end of the island. My MIL lives on Whidbey Island, and that's where we went for turkey. On the way, we simply had to stop and drink in the natural beauty.


This picture is taken from the south end of the bridge, it was 37 degrees outside and windy on the bridge, we didn't venture far out on the bridge on foot. The view is northwest, towards the Pacific Ocean. Beyond the smaller islands, you can see Canada in the distance.


Same place, but a different angle. The view is of the north end of the bridge, or the main land. This pic is straight down from were were standing admiring the view and freezing our hands off.

The underside of the bridge from the south end of the bridge.


Oh and in case you didn't realize it falling from anywhere along the trail near the bridge can be deadly.

I love it when there's a lesson, too, in your post, along with great pictures. Who knew about falling? Hope your turkey day was not a turkey, especially since you were with MIL.

Love it when they state the obvious. I suppose somewhere there are people who don't realize that--but then, that's what the Darwin Awards are all about! Anyway it looks gorgeous and I'm insanely jealous of your COLD weather!
