Music in the Park-Sequim

Every Tuesday at 6pm in the summer we have Music in the Park at the amphitheater in Carrie Blake Park. This night featured Black Diamond Junction which is a local favorite. Here everyone is dancing to the song SHOUT. I love the joy this little girl had dancing to it.

All the concerts are free. Everyone brings blankets and picnics.

The really fun time about living in a small town is that there is always room at an event for your family (even if you show up late!) AND you will always know lots of people. I went to the event by myself, but worked my way from group of friends to group of friends–it was a smorgasbord! A great time as usual.

Amanda Bacon always give a great show!

Port Townsend Wooden Boat Festival

Every September Port Townsend hosts the Wooden Boat Festival (unless there is a raging pandemic of course!)

Boat makers show their wares. Owners let people board their vessels. It’s a boat street festival with people from all over the united states attending.

I was able to get this shot early before anyone had arrived. Processed in Topaz 2 to give it a painterly effect.

It’s Lavender time in Sequim

This is me at Kitty B’s Lavender farm in Sequim.

I love the light between 8-9pm. Definitely the Golden Hour.

The festival starts tomorrow. It’s always the 3rd weekend in July. This year the lavender is a a little late but it is blooming. If you’ve never been, the different farms all have music, food, gift tents, and of course Lavender EVERYTHING!!!

Blast off into the new year!

Having worked in hospitals treating head injuries for over 20 years, I’ve seen the aftermath of way too many car accidents…especially on New Year’s eve. Stay safe everyone!

These shots were taken using intentional camera motion. FUN to play with.
