Deception Pass with Uncle Seth

It's always a holiday of sorts when my big brother comes to town.  We all tend to drop whatever we're doing and make time to do whatever Northwesty things he most wants to do while he's here.  This time he wanted to go hiking at Deception Pass.

I had a hard time choosing which photos to share -- there were so many! It's the constant struggle of a photographer, especially when the subjects both landscape and human are so gorgeous!
