Our first trip to Hartstene in August saw us working on the steps at Raleigh’s place and doing a bit of entomology. Here’s the banded alder borer on the beach. Beautiful but rather large!
In the evening, we hung out with Karen’s cousins Sonia, and Margarent and Regis. Mmmm, sorbet…
Check out the crazy sunset – no Photoshop filters – honest!
The next day, we kayaked around Squaxin to Hope Island state park. We saw an amazing starfish colony off the north point of Squaxin, a kelp bed with crab guardians and the charming old orchards, homesteads and reclaimed woodlands on Hope Island itself. It was a tiring trip back against the current, though, and I’m still suffering from a spot of tendonitis from it! What a wimp!
