Try as I might, he could not be convinced to leave. I got within a couple of feet to take this photo thinking to scare him off. But instead, I got the evil eye and a defiant attitude. Eventually he left, but not without leaving a deposit on the freshly cleaned bimini.
I noticed something while motoring from Poulsbo to Blake Island this morning. Perhaps you see it as well in the photo above. You can tell when someone owned a parcel of land and sold it to a developer. Notice how many houses are crammed into the square section in this photo. I’ve noticed this before.
Blake Island is both a State Marine Park and the site of a pretty interesting Native American presentation. If you find yourself on the Seattle waterfront with some cash, you can take an excursion to the Island to have a nice salmon lunch and a show that includes some story-telling and dance. We brought British friends here years ago and I think they enjoyed it.
Not a lot going on now, of course.
Here are a few photos taken on the four mile walk around the Island.
