Wandering around the boat basin on a sunny morning seemed a pleasant way to spend an hour. It helped that the bright blue skies and warm sunshine made the scenes even more colourful. Very cheerful!
The previous day had been very blustery, and the clanging and clanking of masts, as well as the singing lines as the wind blew through the rigging made for a haunting song of sorts.
The eagles appeared to love the weather, sun or rain, blustery or not, and their piercing cries and shrill calls could be heard each day, even over the constant wind.
One morning, just before sun up, several eagles flew up into the trees to the left and right of our campsite. There they perched, offering an occasional cry, for a few minutes, almost if as if they were waiting with me for the sun to appear over nearby Mt. Ozzard.
Fanciful, I know, but they flew off mere moments after the sun’s first rays started to warm the harbour. I raised my coffee cup in acknowledgment, but they were gone, no doubt looking for something more interesting than the robust dark roast.
Rain or shine, wind or calm, Ucluelet Harbour is rarely a dull place!
Thanks for reading, and I hope you have a wonderful weekend!

Oh, how wonderful for you to be back here, pc. I know how you love this area and I can see why. These photos are gorgeous and I loved hearing about your dreamy stay here, the eagles, the harbor, the winds and weather, your morning coffee, the boats. Sending a big smile your way….

Thanks, Jet! It is a special place for sure – we’re wanderers, but this place held us captivated for quite a few years – could be tempted back if we decide to stop long term somewhere as we get up there in years… but not yet, as denial tells me we’re still barely middle-aged…
Have a great weekend!

So wonderful. There’s something so invigorating about being near or on the water. And those eagles are such amazing birds. Thanks for sharing Adam. Cheers from Indonesia (still!) 😊

I agree about being near the water – usually green and blue and full of life.
Hope your Indonesian travels are going well!

It must have been a surreal experience to see several eagles at once. This place looks amazing. I imagine it being very peaceful, calm, and at the same time not too quiet.

It’s remote, that’s for sure, but lively all the same – we enjoyed living there and had a blast visiting and catching up. You’d like it there, I think – lots of wild places to photograph or just explore and admire!
