These photos are scanned slides taken on Lummi Island, Washington, just outside
of Bellingham. For ten I raised my children on an eleven acre property with a
view and a large art studio. Leaving paradise was difficult but anyone who has
watched the movie "Four Easy Pieces" starring Jack Nicholson ( about
growing up on a wet dreary island in Washington's San Juans) knows that paradise
is what you make it. I loved the beauty of the scenery and the wildlife. Small
town life is not for me however. I prefer the privacy found in anonymity in the
city. The property is now for sale.
