It’s a long walk to get to the light house (going back seems even longer!)
You have to time it right so that the incoming tide does not trap you. But there are picnic tables awaiting you. And you cant beat that view!
Dungeness Spit Light House

Dungeness Sanctuary
The Dungeness Spit area is home to thousands of birds. It is a terrific place to bird watch. Every year the Audubon Society has a weeklong birdfest here.
Circle of life–Eagle near the top of the food chain…
I saw this eagle taking flight and did my best to shoot from my boat that was bobbing up and down. I could tell it had something in its talons, but I thought is was wood. It wasn’t until I was editing that I saw the beak hanging to the left and realized it was a little duck…
UFO–Unidentified floating object
I know that the flying objects ar Cormorants. And the object isn’t exactly floating…but it is there in the middle of the bay by Dungeness Spit. It’s the only structure around. I’m sure it wasn’t meant to just be a Cormorant hang out…but what is it? If anyone knows fill me in and I’ll share it with the world!
Dungeness Light House
My hubby and I took a late season ride in our Whaler out to the dungeness spit.
I got my first photo from this angle (as opposed to taking from the beach–which entails walking the several miles in the sand!)
You can see the caretakers on the front porch of the house. You can sign up to be a weekly caretaker of the lighthouse and stay in the lil house with the best view!
Standing Watch
This Canadian goose stayed with it’s straggling gosling while the other 6 were swimming with dad…(or mom–hard to tell!)
King of the branch
Kingfishers are hard to catch. They are fast and very skiddish. So I shot this from very far away, down at three crabs rd.
