Day 122: Having a whale of a time

Today is the 22nd of July, one of two possible so-called "pi-days" in the year: 22/7, which as everyone learns in school is a reasonable approximation to pi (to 2 decimal places). The other day is the 14th of March, but that only works for people who use the American style of reporting the date - 3.14 (also to 2 decimal places). An interesting side note is that the American pi day will gain two more decimal places of accuracy in 2015, when 14th March can be written as 3.1415.

I was going to celebrate pi day by taking a picture of a drawing of a cake shaped as the letter pi which was scrawled on the blackboard outside my office a few weeks back. But then we took the ferry to Vancouver Island and saw orcas :-) How could I resist using an orca photo? That means I've seen orcas on the last three ferry trips to/from Vancouver Island, and in pretty much the same place each time too.

On another note, this post marks the one-third point of this project. Yikes! There have been a few (dreary) days lately where I really haven't felt like taking pictures. Have to keep working on that for the winter!
