This is the kind of thing I enjoy seeing at this time of year. Hold the Christmas decorations for now, please.

No, really?!
I took today’s pictures 10 days ago at Costco, October 3rd.
As I took these shots a couple of people walked by and commented on the decorations I was photographing. But nobody else seemed amazed/annoyed/flummoxed/surprised/peeved or anything else about two aisles of Christmas merchandise — and the accompanying tinny Christmas carols — out and ready to go in early October.
Yesterday I saw the same thing in Walmart.
Therefore, allow me to be among the first to wish you a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. ((Sheesh!))
Web critters
Spiders are amazing animal architects. Fall and morning dew seem to spotlight their work.
Port Gamble color
Port Gamble is a colorful little town any time of year. It’s especially nice cloaked in fall brilliance.
Color road
This is Highway 104 in Port Gamble last week. A gale last Thursday night stripped trees I intended to photograph in Sequim on Friday. I’ll keep looking.
Autumn invitation
Sequim Bay and a bench with a front row seat. What more could you ask for?
Crabbing around
If you like crab this is the weekend for you. Port Angeles, Sequim’s next door neighbor, is hosting its 15th annual Dungeness Crab & Seafood Festival. There was lots of crabbing activity yesterday at the John Wayne Marina and I suspect much of it was destined for the festival.
Besides many seafood vendors the weekend event has music, a craft fair, cooking demonstrations and a chowder cook-off. This is one of the last big outdoor events before it’s time to go inside and stay warm.
