TheRagens Wildlife Photos
Wildlife and Nature Photography from the Pacific Northwest

We are fortunate to have an idyllic getaway place in the San Juan Islands in Puget Sound that supports a wide range of native wildlife including bald eagles, orca (killer) whales, porpoises, red foxes, sea otters, deer, seals and sea lions and more. As we gain new skills and add to our collection of photos, we will continue to post new pictures.

View our photo albums of wildlife from the San Juan Islands. Some of our top galleries include: Bald Eagles Black-Tailed Deer Orca Whales Red Foxes Seagulls Seals and Sea Lions Landscapes and lightning Still Lifes and Other Photos Recently, we have added the ability to purchase some of our photographs via this website, including some pen and ink reproductions.

The San Juan Islands have captivated wildlife photographers for years with the variety of animals that are common. The books currently available from Amazon.com that are listed below are a good starting point for some of the wildlife and natural scenery from the islands. We have also listed some specific books on many of the individual picture pages.
