Home Life on a Northwest Island Earth Day

Earth Day

Come along on the ride that was Earth Day…

What a STUNNING, technicolor morning – there is no Photoshopping anywhere here ~ a glorious change from the gray
Frank the Nudibranch
Cute!
Just kept going and going 🙂

Pat Castillo is on the Orcas Food Rescue board and used some local gleanings in the soup she gave out to everyone on Earth Day
Mother and daughter ~ Middle School Teacher Shannon Quishenberry, left, is also on the Orcas Food Rescue board and involves her students in food gleaning and distribution projects
Shona Aitken has worked for Wolf Hollow Wildlife Rehab Center on San Juan Island for 34 years and is soon to retire
Shona has been a staple at the events through the years
This was her last one (sigh…)
This is Richard Solomon ~ his grandmother grew up on the Lummi land beyond Haven Road until the flu epidemic forced her out
Richard lives on the Lummi Reservation on the mainland and came to Orcas to enjoy the Earth Day festivities
This was a joint project made by Zackarya Leck (forged metal) and Maria Bullock (willow)

    Thanks for sharing your great photos. The woven creation by Bullock is inspiring. And how appropriate the Earth sits in the center of the labyrinth.
