farmland.jpg In the foreground of the picture you can see the beginning of Sequim.  Above that is some of the best farmland left around.  I hope it stays that way.  In the strait, you can see ships headed for…Seattle?  The first thumbnail shows Bell Hill, once favored for it’s beautiful views.  There are some wonderful home there.  I was surprised how “bald” it looked from the air.     The second thumbnail shows the airplane ahead of us starting to land.  I had a great time on this trip and I am extremely grateful to my hosts for sharing this wonderful view of where we live.

 Picking up where I left off on Thursday, as we left John Wayne Marina and flew over Discovery Bay, I noticed this orange color in the water.  My hosts told me they had heard about an algae bloom on T.V.  I missed the story, but the sight of it was very strange.  We then landed at the Port Townsend Airport and had breakfast at the Spruce Goose Cafe.  The food was excellent and the folks were friendly.    Tomorrow will be my last “in the air”.  Time to come back to earth.

 I’m interrupting my Sequim, from the air, series to bring you our annual “In the lavender” photo.  We took almost 40 photos before we came up with one that turned out pretty good of all three of us.   My baby girl is four, my big boy is nine, and let’s just say it will be a monumental birthday in September.   For some reason I have had several inquires on my update on the Lavenderlady page in the last few days.  I’ve added the latest doctor’s report for those interested.  I appreciate the good wishes and concern.
