I was busy taking a picture of a fetching little goldfinch when a car driving by whipped a U turn and roared back down the road to a snag nearby. I could almost hear them muttering, “Are you kidding? There’s an eagle down here!” So I walked down the street and took my turn. Am I projecting or does this guy look irritated at all the attention?
Last weekend was our 117th annual Irrigation Festival. This is what it’s all about.
I love the nostalgia and beauty of barn photographs. . .but what I like even more is to see a good looking working farm. I means someone is making a living providing the food and fiber we need. That strikes me as a win-win.
Here’s a closer view.
Although I’ll still post, I’m away for a few days and may not be able to check in regularly. See you soon!
Because this is an historic farming community, it shouldn’t be surprising that some of the local barns that remain have some of the most beautiful settings in the region. Farmers love the land and, living here, I can certainly see why.
Today would normally be a Theme Day for bloggers with City Daily Photo. Regrettably, the CDP site has been down as a result of what I understand was a malicious attack. Blogger Julie Storey has established a linky for bloggers who still wish to participate. This month’s theme is cobblestones. If you’d like to check out the offerings, here is where to look: www.cdpbthemeday.blogspot.com.au.
The field nearby is cultivated yet the barn in the distance certainly isn’t. It’s beyond a fence and a gate posted “No Trespassing.” My zoom can’t get quite close enough. Wish I could. Wish I knew its story.

If you’ve ever driven through Sequim on Highway 101, you’re likely to have seen this barn. It’s at the eastbound exit to Sequim Avenue looking forgotten and forlorn. And it’s for sale.
In the background to the left is one of Sequim’s little subdivisions at the base of Bell Hill.
The barn looks sad to me and a little haunted with memories of days when it was active and full of life.
