Here’s a burst of green in honor St. Patrick’s Day. This is a trail at Railroad Bridge Park during leafier days last September.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day to you of the Irish persuasion. Eirinn go Brach!
Avenue of the People
“Avenue of the People” is a series of metal sculptures created by Bob Stokes and installed on Laurel Street in Port Angeles.
There are over a dozen sculptures along the two block length of the street, including this pregnant woman.
The downtown area of Port Angeles is peppered with pieces of public art like this. It enlivens the area.
Predictable snap
Old wood. Rusty wire. Stuff like that’s irresistible.
Room for lavender
This is the back of one of the barns of a local lavender growing operation. It was previously called Angel Farm. Now it’s B & B Family Farm. The fields, which you cannot see here, have been rejuvenated and it’s again on the annual lavender circuit. I enhanced this grey day look a bit with Photoshop.
Them again
Yesterday was the first of two days of the annual Tour de Dungeness bicycle races, more commonly known as “Tour de Dung.” The race draws hundreds of bicyclists who compete on a 12 mile course through the Dungeness area of Sequim.
Both men and women compete, rain or shine. Yesterday’s weather included light rain and wind but was appreciably better than it had been earlier last week. The second set of races will be ridden next Saturday.
Time flies
Six years ago today we pulled up to our new home after two days on the road. Our house was completed…that day. It was twilight. As we walked to the front door we heard a chorus of coyotes in the distance. We took this as a greeting. We lived in Sequim now, at long last.
Here’s a shot of the Hood Canal taken not long after we arrived.
The Grange has a new look
I hadn’t been by the Sequim Prairie Grange for a few months. It has a new look!
This painted “quilt” has been added on the front of the building. In the center are Washington state’s bird (American goldfinch), flower (rhododendron), and tree (western hemlock).
