Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
We’re seeing eagles again. Since I shot this one it’s been occasionally joined by a second one in the same tree. Yesterday they called out to a third one as it circled overhead.
I found this eagle up the street from the one above.
It’s no secret. I love to see eagles.
The Jamestown Beach area fronts right onto the Strait of Juan de Fuca and saltwater tidelands which are on the right side of this road.
The only problem is if Mother Nature should get in a tiff.
I haven’t shown the Old Dungeness Schoolhouse for a while. It was originally built in 1892 and expanded with a two story wing in 1921. The newer portion is hidden behind the tree above.
It’s been a long while since it has functioned as a school. The building is owned now by the Sequim Museum and Arts Center and rented out as an event center. Click here for photos of its interior and its long history.
Two months ago I posted some shots of the Ward Bridge here, shortly before it was closed for work on its concrete piers that have been undermined by Dungeness River flooding. One of the trickier parts of the project was to accomplish the work with minimal disruption to salmon runs that occur in late summer.
The river is being rerouted while work is being undertaken. These big sandbags have been deployed and two excavators were at work when I checked out the project.
They’re working against the clock with a short term permit described here.
Some days the mountains are visible and beautiful. Other times they’re nestled behind a thick blanket of clouds. And occasionally they give us a sneak peek to remind us what we look forward to seeing each day.
Taking a picture of another photographer taking a picture seems an irresistible temptation for anyone who takes a lot of pictures. Like me.
It’s hard to believe this is the last day of April. All in all it was a beautiful month.
