More Hooky

Great weather continued throughout the week, and, in anticipation of flying to Milwaukee Sunday, I carped the diem Friday to go kayaking up north near LaConner, between Whidbey and Fidalgo Islands. Where I launched, it was sunny and warm, with calm waters. On the west side of Whidbey, it seemed there was a bank of marine push fog. I caught a photo of one of its tendrils partially enveloping the Deception Pass Bridge:

I hauled out onto a beach on Hope Island, a Washington State Park, to stretch a bit and laze in the sun. I used my camera’s timer for the self-portrait below, then hiked up a trail and got the beach photo.









These are the only decent wildlife shots I got. And I’m not sure the thing wasn’t dead.








Shots from the trip home. Mount Baker, a volcano near the Canadian border, was out, and I parked and walked out onto the Swinomish bridge near LaConner to snap it. Then, while driving through some farmland, I couldn’t resist pulling over for one more.
