Tourists
According to the 2000 census the population of the Island was at 246 people. Dale says that during the high season part time residents cause the population to swell up to about 5,000. Tourists who stay for a brief time or who are just doing day trips also help keep the Island especially busy in July and August. Above photo from July 2011.

The Lupines
Dale told me that the Island was devoid of lupines many years ago and that his neighbor, Mrs. C, brought a lot of them over from the mainland in her younger days. Although they've all but disappeared by this time of year, they look like this in June. This photo dated June 20, 2010.
