Feather Bluff


David and me, don't I look like a ragamuffin, that's what mother used to call me. But my hair is shaggy and in the sun, the curls fall out. But enough about me.
This is a beautiful vantage point on Lummi Island out in Bellingham Bay. We named it Feather Bluff because of the turkey vultures flying over so close that you could hear the wind brushing their wings. And the flap of their wings, impressing.
It was Memorial Day weekend and we'd decided to do something special. He's a guy on the go, and actually I am too, well not a guy. But I have some much creative energy, and want to do and learn and experience new things. It keeps me young I think. We are both in our 50s, no time to waste, right?
Well, it was a very hot day and we spent some time here. Other folks came and went. A guy from Australia happened into the clearing and ate his lunch. He apologised for taking off his shirt, but hey, he was wanted the sun as much as we did.
We ate a little snack here before hiking on.
Have fun,
Traveling Nan
