Description

By some quirk, coincidence or miracle, Martin and I both had the day off today! (It's still Friday the 27th here.) We thought it would be fun, on the spur of the moment, to drive up to Bellingham via Chuckanut Drive. We took the scenic route home across Deception Pass and down Whidbey Island. It took us seven hours because we dawdled, but that's sort of the whole point, and we had a great time! On the way out we stopped at the store, got a few things for a picnic, and off we went. Larrabee State Park seemed like a good place for lunch. I took the camera and hiked down to the beach (Samish Bay) and took a bunch of pictures. Best I can tell from my Gazetteer, this is a view of Lummi Island, looking out across Samish Bay. I took about three hundred photos today, so I'll be subjecting you to more of this sort of thing. I hope you're sitting down: I didn't take a single macro shot all day!

All the lush vegetation that must have been around and no macro? How did you ever restrain yourself??? ;o) This is a wonderful photo. I like that the foreground tree is sharp and detailed -- makes me feel like I was there, too.

Is a very nice shot. And I haven't been to Whidbey Island in quite awhile. I remember taking the ferry over from Mulkilteo quite a bit. There used to be a pretty good little restruant there on the warf, on the Mukilteo side. Can't remember its name, though I could give you directions =. Bring on the other pics =}.

Isn't it great when days off can be together, so few of them for me and my other half....but I enjoy dragging him out when I can to get photos and he seems to like to follow...not so strange to him anymore for me to have camera at the ready....lol very lovely shot, I do like the old tree with no leaves as a focal point to a wonderful vista...PS hows my babies, no trouble I hope!

We always go down Chuckanut when we go to Bellingham it such a gorgeous drive. Your whole trip was a gorgeous drive can't wait to see pictures. Like the shapes this old tree gives. Nice against the blues and Lummi in the back.

What! 300 photos! Does this mean no more irises? Love this picture, with the tree silhouetted against the somewhat misty ocean, sky and enchanted island. This is absolutely my kind of tree...stark, dour, leafless, standing stubbornly against the capricious forces of nature. Some day when I get around to it I'll release my shots of similar trees upon the world.
