Dead Man Bay

The weather was absolutely gorgeous for a little hike around the bay. The popies were blooming among the dry grass.

Late afternoon sun on San Juan Island

We were hurrying back to catch the ferry but had to stop to catch this scene.

Lime Kiln State Park

We enjoyed the view but saw no orcas.

Pacific Madrona Tree

The late afternoon sun across the water was reflecting off this very striking tree.

Sunset

Becky and I spend a very relaxing evening watching the water, sun and clouds as the sun sunk lower and lower in the sky.

A view from the cliffs

As we were driving around the coast of San Juan Island this boat caught our attention.

The lighthouse at American Beach

What an interesting place to visit and stroll around.

American Beach Lighthouse

Between rain squalls I was able to get a few shots of this point and the lighthouse.

More of American Beach

 

On the Ferry

The ferries ply their routes between the islands and the view from the deck is striking.

Taking a moment for a few notes...

Bec likes to keep a written journal of our trips.

A Tiny Blossom Along the Way

This flower was no bigger than the head of a medium sized nail.

Boats Abound

Every where that we traveled around the islands there were boats of every size, description and value. From tiny dorries to large luxury ships.

Friday Harbor

Eating overlooking the ferry dock.

The Tent

What would camping be without a tent...?

A Visitor

This placid grazer just wandered up to our camp site and surveyed me and my camera while calmly munching on some grass and blossoms.

The View from Eastsound Bay

In keeping with our summer tradition Becky and I strolled down to the old Episcopal Church on the low cliff above Eastsound Bay in the late afternoon with ice cream bars in hand to enjoy the magnificant view.

Mount Constitution Again

We made our annual pilgrimage to the tower at the peak of Mount Constitution. The view is spectacular!!

More Spectacular Views

Numerous places along the winding road to the top of Mount Constitution offer magnificent vistas.

Of Course - The Camp Fire!

Once again we enjoyed a number of delightful evenings sitting around the camp fire, chatting, reading, drinking hot chocolate, eating "s'mores" and taking photos!
