Lummi Island

Solo kayak day trip to the DNR camp on the esat side of Lummi Island, May 22, 2010.
  • Tiny cove perfect for landing in a kayak. DNR campground on east side of Lummi Island.
  • North from landing spot: Portage Island and the expanse of Bellingham Bay in front of the city.
  • Pacific Sedum... I think.
  • Another view looking north from my landing site.
  • Harbor Porpoise... cropped image from a great distance, so the quality of the photo is poor.
  • Wild Rose
  • Diamonds on the Water
  • Main cove to access the DNR campsites. I had the entire area to myself...
  • Looking back from the main cove, to the south. Eliza Island, left; Samish Island distant.
  • From the DNR "Vista" looking back at Bellingham.
  • Madrona tree bark detail.
  • Honeysuckle
  • Immature Bald Eagle flew over from across the bay and perched behind me.
  • Two paddlers pass beneath my perch at the kayak camp.
  • Clouding up and time to head back, but at least Bellingham Bay has turned glassy...
