Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It’s Independence Day in the U.S.A. and Old Glory is being flown near and far.
I recently was told that our local Lion’s Club sets up and takes down flag displays like this around Sequim. I haven’t been able to verify that nor to find any details but it’s a rather nice service. It pains me to see flags flown improperly at night and in poor weather.
This log home looks as if it was well on its way to completion and then…who knows? It appears to have sat, open to the elements, for a while.
I like trying to catch photos of birds I see. Then comes trying to identify the bird. It feels like a minor triumph when I think I’ve succeeded. But sometimes the fun part is just learning its name. “Western wood-pewee.” Or “pewee” to you.
Ok. If you want to get proper and formal it’s “Contopus sordidulus.” Where’s the fun in that?
For today’s City Daily Photo theme day, “Look down,” I went back to a photo I took during a stint as a volunteer lighthouse keeper at the New Dungeness Light Station. This shot was taken from the top of the lighthouse looking down its narrow stairwell.
The light station is located at the end of Dungeness Spit, a five mile natural sand spit that arches into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. It is remote, windswept, and beautiful.

I didn’t stick around to see the person who went with this bumper sticker.
We saw this old Army jeep in Port Townsend recently. Three lovely young women were riding in it…not your expected jeep riders.
According to its license plate it’s 1942 vintage. And by the look of it it’s been well cared for.
Some decadence is memorable enough to warrant capturing for posterity. This one justified it: mocha mousse at the Dockside Grill. It followed an equally memorable – slightly more virtuous – seafood salad. Across the table was a pineapple cake that got good reviews, too.
