Dungeness Recreation Area

The trail meanders a short distance through a wooded area and then opens onto this view. Access to the bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca near here has recently been moved inland because of erosion. But this view helps make up for the loss of a beautiful water vantage.

Serviceberries

These plump little native berries ripen at the height of summer. They feed birds, wildlife, and passing walkers like us who look forward to them every year. Abundant rains this spring assured a good crop. They’re not the tastiest of mini fruits but a handful of them on our salad the other night was a nice addition. I’m told they’re high in antioxidants. They’re also called Saskatoons.
