Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
I may have posted a view of this spot before. It’s part of my regular walking route at Dungeness Recreation Area. It regularly grabs me because it’s so nicely situated to catch slices of light in the late afternoon and early evening. During winter it’s particularly nice to emerge from the nearby forested area and see the light radiating across this part of the trail ahead.
Today is the first day of my husband’s two week Scamp Camp at the Northwest Maritime Center in Port Townsend. In the back of the car above are some of the pieces of the Scamp sailboat that my husband has prefinished as part of the build. This was the second of two trips he made to the Maritime Center to deliver parts and assist with setting up the shop for the class. More parts will go with him this morning as he arrives for the class.
Above is a puzzle joint on one of the pieces of the boat-to-be. It’s how NC (numerically controlled) routed plywood panels are joined together.
If you’re remotely interested in this boat-building class, click here to go to a webcam that’s set up above the workshop classroom. If you get a darkened room remember we’re on Pacific Standard time. There is a partially built Scamp in the foreground of the camera’s field. This is what the other piles of lumber are attempting to become. I’ll visit the class late this week and post some shots of where the boats are at the halfway mark.
This gate caught my eye the other day. The ferns and leaves were nicely done.
This is one of my favorite roads, though I admit there are plenty that I’ve blown by without exploring. This one runs like a sinuous ribbon with low dips and rises on the east side of the Sunland development. It’s not a busy road but this is a through-the-windshield shot. It felt a tad too risky to jump out of the car. . .

Today is the first of the month, Theme Day with City Daily Photo. March’s theme is “Cafe Chairs.” I’ve not been haunting cafes much these days. (For health reasons I’m on a strict self-imposed diet.) Click here to see blogger interpretations of this theme at City Daily Photo. There are some great shots!
Here’s a sign you don’t see just anywhere.
This big old tree caught my eye as I passed it the other day. It leaned a bit, as trees are sometimes wont to do. But a piece of metal sticking out of its crotch caught my eye.
There’s an assortment of chains and at least two padlocks holding the tree together. I wonder what a professional arborist would think of this.
