Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
You’re a big Labrador Retriever. Really big. You love to cuddle. You can’t get onto the furniture. So what do you do when you want a little loving? Drape yourself over your person when he’s on the floor doing his daily exercises. Sure you slide off. But you’ll still have a blissful moment of Quality Time.
I liked the look of this old tractor. Parked next to a recently worked field, a little rust here and there, but apparently still in good working order.
I’m a Lincoln fan so this marker on a wall in Port Angeles caught my eye. I guess at least the Daughters of the American Revolution found the event noteworthy.
There are a lot of beautiful homes around here and most have gorgeous views. I found myself admiring the setting for this one. But I’m also a sucker for covered porches so this one obviously proved irresistible.
This windmill dots the landscape almost like a giant daisy. Aside from wind farms filled with turbines that generate energy, the old fashioned windmill like the one above seems much less common these days. At one time in the U.S. the power of the wind generated energy to pump water and windmills were not uncommon on farms or ranches.
Our snowpack is only about 20% of normal; last year it was above average. It’s still early. Snow was predicted today, possibly down to sea level. Then the prediction changed. We’ll see.
One of the reasons I love living here is this: Everyday life is surrounded by a beautiful view. This was taken from the parking lot at our veterinarian’s office.
