Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
There was a lot going on when we dropped by the Sequim Skateboard Park recently.
I like to see the younger generation’s take on gravity.
Our standing around watching seemed to fit in about as well as as a pair of ballerinas dancing through a pro football game. We didn’t stay long.
This sign sits outside the Sequim Skatepark. I don’t know what was on it originally.
This is on the upper right side of the sign. In the interest of retaining civility on this blog, I refrain from response.
Tomorrow I’ll show you activity on the other side of the sign.
The James Center for the Performing Arts is located in Carrie Blake Park. This is the venue for “Music in the Park” every Tuesday evening during summer, 6 to 8 p.m. Concert goers bring blankets or chairs and a picnic to enjoy live music.
There’s a very cool clock just outside the lobby of Evergreen Collision Center. My photos aren’t what I’d hoped they’d be but the clock is just too interesting to not get a mini moment of fame.
It’s a connecting rod on a piston. From an engine. An enormous engine.
(There’s a gumball machine through the window behind it. The color is similar; don’t let that confuse you.)
The dahlias at Carrie Blake Park are at their peak. Sometimes I just can’t get enough of their soft colors.
I love the subtle shading and profusion of perfect petals.
It’s a good thing they don’t have a lot of fragrance. I’d be totally helpless to their charms if they did.
There’s a nicely landscaped flower bed at Carrie Blake Park. I hadn’t checked out the dahlias for a couple of years. They occupy part of a top tier.
Dahlias grow beautifully around here and the ones at Carrie Blake don’t disappoint. I’ll show you more tomorrow.
On a long shelf across a window at Evergreen Collision Center there is an array of model racing cars, each probably around a foot long. They are backed on the shelf by an array of other interesting miniatures.
There’s a big assortment of other small trucks and service vehicles, Coca Cola memorabilia, signs, and more.
We simply showed up and asked to see this amazing collection, not realizing that it wasn’t an open display. Be more polite than we were. I’d recommend if you’re eager to view it that you give them a call first to see when they might best be able to accommodate your request. Prepare to be amazed.
