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!

I love those long, scenic and leisurely drives! Great capture! Looking forward to more.
Woweeeeeeeeeeeeeee.this is so great.........you can almost see the bubbles blown by fish, lower right! This is a lovely, easy on the eye, would be lovely on my wall pic.... and how nice that you had a great 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.
So Calm and Beatuful...
Beautiful view...
that has to be a nice place:)
Magnicent capture and love those blues!!!!
OH dear! This is just wonderful and I love it. I am looking forward to see more of that kind. :)))))
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 =}.
Beautiful work, nicely framed with the tree in the foreground. Peaceful and lovely scene!
Beautiful waters...beautiful capture. Excellent. Aloha
very beautiful place and shot, my friend brava
Breathtaking scene hugs lou x
Beautiful shot. I love it! So good to have a fun drive and picnic.
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!
Very beautiful shot!!
I love the pov on this picture and I love to hear about trips. It sounds like you and martin had a really good one. Thanks for sharing with all of us.

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 a beautiful view, looks so quiet and peaceful. Excellent POV!
Chuckanut Drive is soooooo beautiful and if you know where, there's fossils to be found right along side the road!!! You came down right past me???? It was a beautiful day yesterday, so I'm sure you got some great shots!!!!! Can't wait to see more!!!!!!
I sure would love to swim there Beautiful, Indeed
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.
quite stunning island view
beautiful scene, the colors and the compo are really lovely
Very nice Tara, I can see Larry & I sailing out there ....memories...I've been to Deception Pass but many yrs. ago.
Peaceful place Tara, the water so still. This is a gorgeous shot, cannot wait to see the others. Hugs. Diane.
I love the natural framing with the barren tree. exceptional landscape
Gorgeous capture AND view..and I'm grateful to you for the glimpse of its beauty. Oh, yes, please...subject away! :)
