The topic of this month’s City Daily Photo theme day is “entry.” This front door is an irresistible choice, found on an amazing Art Noveau building I saw last fall in Paris.

Boat trivia
We’ve driven past FV Quaker Maid in Port Townsend a number of times in recent months and she looks better each time. Each time we’ve passed her DH has commented that she was a sister to Confidence, the vessel he fished with out of Seattle in the 1970s. Now that she’s looking good, it seemed time to take her portrait. And DH is no longer convinced she’s a sister…but they look like they could be…and they’re the same size and are from a similar era. Is this another fish story? Confidence fished for Whitney Fidalgo Seafoods; her captain was part of that well known family.
Morris Minors
Over the past few years that we’ve been going to Port Townsend I’ve eyed a small but growing fleet of Morris Minors parked in a lot. After taking these photos I learned that, not surprisingly, these are part of a collection that belongs to a man who restores them. Click here for more details. The cream colored Minor in the bottom right shot drove by as I was taking these shots.
Season 4
The UPS truck finally arrived. We’ve been waiting for months.
Water view
While DH wandered around from shop to shop last Friday I enjoyed an absolutely flawless day in Port Townsend.
Guy stuff
Dear husband had a shopping list of materials for the boat so it was time to lighten his wallet in Port Townsend, the go-to place for bronze bolts, copper nails, and the other esoterica of boats. You know what “boat” stands for, don’t you? Break Out Another Thousand.
A couple is out for a day of boating when suddenly the boat begins to sink.
Wife: “You’re the sailor, honey. Do something nautical!”
Husband: “Like what?”
Wife: “Write a check!”
Getting around in Port Angeles
This shot was taken looking uphill in Port Angeles, Sequim’s western neighbor city.
In the early 1900s the hills leading to downtown were intentionally flushed away by sluicing to make it easier to get to town businesses. The downtown area was also elevated to raise it above the nearby beach. The slurry from the hill removal was dammed along the downtown streets and the lower stories of businesses eventually became today’s underground Port Angeles as the street level was filled in and raised. Uphill, this left bluffs and this walkway (and stairs, elsewhere) as one means of getting up and down.
