a hippy/boatbuilder/traveler built a wild little off grid cabin back in the 60’s on what is now a state park. I was part of the management crew ten Years ago that cleaned the place up(removed garbage and sealed the place up to be safe)and I was allowed to keep this.

anyway, only thing I know, the cabin Was abandoned in the 70’s, the owner had traveled/sailed all around the world but spent The most time in/around Cameroon(Africa) and the Philippians. I was young and I tried to remove some of the rust/petina on the blade unfortunately, and the Blade was fixed To the handle with woven reeds and heat treated sap.

I work on a small private island and swim over all the time. this is the first time I’ve witnessed one coming/going.

wish I got my phone out quicker. one of the dogs chased it right up to me, and it jumped about ten feet right out into the water! a beautiful buck.

he made it all the way across, no problem.

2 day old Goose. 7 days old today, and I am continuously amazed by their intelligence and personality.

these are my original pictures

two days old.

I was Heading to work early in the morning when I saw a spray, turned off the engine asap and they circled me once Underwater before I could get my phone out.

I left the audio because it’s hilarious(to me) and very embarrassing.

**edited to say thank you so much to everyone who has commented ya’ll are the best and YOU are the reason I will never leave seattle**
