Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Well a bay without an oar..but you get the picture. My husband was crabbing in in Sequim Bay, but the oar lock doesnt work and the oar kept coming out and floating away. Here her rescued it…but his expression tells it all!
Ok so this might seem like a weird photo for THANKSGIVING…
However, it makes me feel blessed and thankful every time I see it. My parenats gave me the gift of travel from a very young age. They helped me delve into many cultures and taught me not to be just a “surface tourist”.
I have an amazingly supportive husband who travels with me some of the time, but sets me free to explore & photograph things by myself or with others.
I get to travel the world and share it with all of you thru my lens.
I really appreciate all of your support and kind feedback.
My parting words–Get out there and ENJOY EVERY DAY. Discover something new. Whether it’s in you backyard or in the VERY COLD waters of the Arctic!
Live a little…

Every year Port Angeles hosts the Dungeness Crab and Seafood Festival. This year had PERFECT WEATHER (not always the case–usually coats and layers are required!) For $40 you get a whole crab, ear of corn and some cole slaw. The crab is REALLY FRESH…often just out of the bay. THousands aof CAnadians come over the ferry for the festival. There are three bands playing, lots of craft vendors. And …
The Olympic Peninsula Bicycle Alliance holds a bike rodeo every year to teach kids safe biking skills.
They learn to stop safely, avoid objects, learn hand signals and road safety.
Lots of volunteers from biking groups, state park rangers, Sequim Police department were all involved.
We even got “Mad Max” here riding by himself for the first time. His mother started crying…It was a pretty cool day!
