Geez: I turned in my monthly offering for June and realized I hadn’t posted my story for May. 

The page should enlarge for easier reading if you click on it. This story is about one of the other big carnivore-predators around the Pacific Northwest (besides us) – and how these big guys keep getting in the way. It’s the good, the bad and some ugly all rolled into 225 words. The photo below was the inspiration and reference I used for the initial illustration. This is the “Big Red Can” that’s just offshore at Port Townsend’s Point Hudson harbor entrance. I’ve seen more sea lions on this thing than I can count. I was sailing out there a couple of days ago and a very large male was ‘laying out’ on the top, just like my little watercolor shows. As I sailed past, he didn’t even wake up. I could almost hear him snoring – 1000 lbs of snoring. Check out the entire magazine online at: 48 North, I’m on page 33.

Thanks for reading this week.
