Sequim Daily Photo

At the Olympic Memorial Cancer Center in Sequim, visitors are invited to view the art of Martha Rudersdorf. Through her art, Martha shared with the Sequim community part of her journey from breast cancer diagnois, through surgery and follow up treatment. Using Costco plastic swimsuit forms, Martha created pieces that move and challenge the viewer. An article appeared in the June 12th issue of the Peninsula Daily News and try as I might, I have been unable to locate a link so that you might read the interview. Local viewers are encouraged to visit the Medical Center at 844 N. 5th. (the building in the back) Without a good camera, it was hard to capture all of the nuances of the work. I had a very hard time choosing just one to post today…so I have created another page. You will find it listed under the thumbnail on the right.

This is one of those perfect times for being a grandma. My daughter is helping out two days a week with my grandson’s classroom, and I have the time to spend with baby girl. On Tuesday we headed to Carrie Blake Park. A favorite spot for young moms and their children becaue of the wonderful playground, it also has a pond with three bridges…big on BG’s list. We had a great time looking for ducks and their babies. Previous posts of the park can be viewed here and here.

Flag Day is celebrated in the United States. The link gives useful information about this day and the adoption of our flag. These flags were part of the float from Forks, WA. advertising their Old Fashioned Fourth of July Parade and Celebration.

A beautiful visita close to Maple Valley Farm.

A display by Healthy Families. I think the sign says it all.

Last night oldest son treated baby girl and I to a wonderful show at the county fair grounds. A division of the Lipizzaner Stallions Traveling Show was in town. It was a great show! Many years ago I visited the Spanish Riding School in Vienna. It was strange to see them here in the same place we watch rodeo. I apologize for the graininess of the picture. (good camera has been officially declared “dead”…temporary replacement has been ordered)

Last month the wild rhododenderns were in full bloom. As you drove along, you would see splotches of pink against the green. It is a true sign summer is on it’s way in the Northwest.
