lummi island

when one of r. j.'s native Lummi students said, 'go to Lummi Island,' it didn't take much persuasion to do so. $2 later, i hopped on a little 18 car/passager ferry and cruised 15 minutes over to Lummi Island. while the island is mostly residential, there is the marvelous beach store cafe with six micro brews on tap and a feast of flora.

i filled *two* liter nalgene water bottles with these little guys, which I hand picked right off the side of the street. i thought i'd save them for the morning.... minutes later, they were gone. i couldn't resist! they were the sweetest, most organic blackberries one could imagine...and they were FREE!!!

the 50 1.4 does some pretty nice background blurs shooting handheld at f/2. it also helps to have a cool subject and good light.
