orcas island

"If you wish to tell me that the city offers galleries, I'll pour you a drink and enjoy your company...but I'll bear with me to my grave those pure moments...where I stood planted, open-mouthed, born, before that one particular canvas...These are our few live season. Let us live them as purely as we can, in the present."
- Annie Dillard

So much beauty in Orcas, not only in the surroundings but also in watching these little people grow up together, interact, learn from each other, build friendships, and imitate.
