Crabbing with Grandpa

Today we went to Grandpa and Gigi’s house near Kayak Point to go crabbing. I’ve never been crabbing before and neither have the boys. Grandpa has a unique method that proved to be very successful. I was in the canoe with the boys just offshore while Grandpa was wading in the water. We would spot the crab from the canoe then push them to more shallow water using the oars. Most often Grandpa and I would double team with our oars to bring a crab up into the canoe. After the first crab, I was hooked. We ended up catching around 25 sized crab and threw back 13 females. Later in the evening we feasted on the 12 crab we caught.

The weather cooperated as well. I thought I was back in Souther California… minus the Dungeness crab. Another wonderful day on our Seattle vacation!

Volterra, Italy pano

Taken in Volterra, Italy June 2009 using a Canon 5D Mark II and a 24-70 2.8 lens. This photo consists of 5 different images stitched together. The shots were taken hand held with very little post processing, if any. This was my first trip with the Canon 5D Mark II camera and it took some getting used to.
