Halloween Happenings on Beach Drive
There's a slight chill in the air signally that Halloween will soon be here. We've noticed some very spooky occurrences and some neighborhood homes including mummies hanging from play-sets and an abundance of orange spiderwebs. Do you have a scary looking home this Halloween? Please send us your photos to so we can share them here (plus then you won't have to wonder who the creepy blogger is taking photos of your home). You can send an email (address in the upper right corner) or share on our Facebook Group page or the Community Forums.
You can also join in on Beach Drive Blog's virtual pumpkin carving and Halloween costume contest for Beach Drive and neighbors. Submit your photos for the contest by Saturday, October 30, 2010 to make sure they're in time to be viewed by our ghoulish judges with winners announced on Halloween.
Orcas between Blake and Vashon Island
I cannot think of a better way to begin a morning than to watch Orcas dine on salmon for breakfast…can you?
Did You Hear the Sea Lions
I'm working from home today battling a bug (the classic cold one catches from when the kids return to school). I noticed some strange, loud barking noises while sitting at my computer.
I ran to the deck and saw what appears to be two sea lions swimming along together.
I wish I had better photos to share with you–it really was quite a sight (and sound)!
Cute Alert: Seal Pup
This photo was submitted by Jan Burkholder who spied this little fella the other day along the shore along Beach Drive.
Wind and Rain
This morning's post about the weather is no "barking dog report" where I warn of extreme weather…but it doesn't hurt to start thinking about being prepared.

Fog Horns and Last Night’s Sunset
You can barely see the cargo containers on top of this ship through the fog this morning.
Last night's sunset shows the same smaller boat in the above photo before this morning's heavy fog set in.
Last Night’s Breathtaking Sunset
More photos from last night have been added to the Beach Drive Blog's Facebook sunset photo album.
