Pack up some sandwiches, chips, and something to drink. This spot is out of the wind at the Dungeness Recreation Area and a perfect spot to hang out and enjoy the day. Flies, ants, or bees optional.

Working farm
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!
Dungeness Cemetery
Here’s a view of the Dungeness Cemetery. I haven’t explored it carefully but in it reside some of the region’s early pioneers whose names are attached to many of our local roads, including Cays and Lotzgesell, the road on which the cemetery is located.
Only cameras are shooting now
The wetlands at Dungeness Recreation Area are full of water. . .and now that hunting season is over, the ducks are back. This guy gave me a profile shot and then took off. I like the reflections in the water around him.
It's them again
If you walk regularly at the Dungeness Recreation Area, as I do, people and dogs become familiar. I don’t see this pair regularly, but I was tickled to recognize them quickly enough to take another shot of them on this trail, a different spot from my post on March 14. As you can see, spring hasn’t exactly popped here yet, but the tiniest of leaves are finally unfurling. We’ve had consistent overnight freezes until just a few days ago.
Looking for color
As grey and lifeless as the trail seems, sometimes winter light illuminates hints of color. Or maybe it was just my mood that day, lifted by the bright blue of the gent’s jacket, and the boundless joy of his white-faced retriever.
Tour de Dung, 2 of 2
I lived for a long time in an area well populated with mountain bikes and I see bikes on the trail in the Dungeness Recreation Area. The ones in this race are a whole different ballgame. And is it totally girlie of me to say I liked the colorful shoes? You can see some of them in the photo below.
The course takes about half an hour and the speeds are about 24 mph. Though the groups of bicyclists are large, they pass by in a flash.
