    Thanks, Jen, Ana, & Boo!

    Side note: this photo was taken just about 200 yards from the previous island photo of the hay bales. I wouldn’t have snapped either photo if it weren’t for the Annoyingly Intermidable Road Construction Project that’s been sending us 15 minutes out of our way on every trip to and from work!

    We noticed yesterday that they’ve started paving. I may miss a few more pretty shots over by False Bay, but oh boy will I be happy not to make the longer drive. (Especially with island gas prices at $3.05/gallon — for regular!)

    False Bay, Deception Pass — What’s next, Phony Beach? Pretend Canal?
    (I believe I have a right to make these remarks as a former resident of Oak Harbor and sometime summer strawberry picker in Mt. Vernon.)
    Super picture. Send it to M. Night Shyamalan!

    “I see tourists.” :-)

    I get the feeling lots of boats ended up as wreckage, otherwise the first white guys here wouldn’t have been so inclined to name everything as Big Honkin’ Warnings. Oh, and if it’s not about wrecking your boat, it’s another sort of warning. You know, up the coast from here we’ve got Smallpox Bay and Dead Man Bay. (Presumably first visited by the same unfortunate person in that particular order…)

    Off topic — well, sorta — I’m assuming you’ve seen Jarmusch’s “Dead Man.”
    God, I loved it. Can only watch it every few years or so.
    “I don’t smoke!”
    Oh, also, I’ve been a tourist to your lovely island.

    I’m outdone by my husband. He suggests “Hoodwink Canal.”
    (We literally made a pilgrimage to Hood Canal in honor of the oysters. Nothing there — it was a weekend — but a bunch of shells. It was so cold, I got chilblains.)

    “Hoodwink Canal.” Nicely done, Mr. Cookiecrumb!

    I adore Dead Man. Gotta be one of the most creatively inspiring movies I’ve ever seen.
