Sometimes it feels like winter strips everything bare. Truth is, it leaves bits and pieces for critters. Starlings and seagulls have found meals lately in our lawn, as have the groups of deer that graze. And many trees and bushes have leftovers once the leaves are gone.

Walk this way
Ten days ago I posted photos of the closed southern portion of the bluff trail at Dungeness Recreation Area and an adjacent new trail under construction further inland. The other day we came upon the ranger-manager as he worked on the new trail which routes walkers inland from the bluff.
The old bluff trail, refurbished only three years ago, is permanently closed due to steady erosion and to prevent idiots misguided walkers from scaling adjacent unprotected bluff areas. Posts and wires are being installed along the new route which should be open (weather permitting work completion) within a couple of weeks. You will, no doubt, see this new trail once my feet get authorization to enter. Can’t wait!
Grey, anyone?
Progress report
It’s time for another look at the new Sequim Civic Center. It’s definitely coming along. Now with paneling applied to the exterior walls, it’s easier to visualize its eventual scale.
You can see here the obvious progress since the last shot that I posted in September from a similar perspective.
Here’s another view from what I think is the back of the building.
Bird condos
There are some birdhouses that rarely fail to catch my eye, especially when I’m on the prowl for color. I’ve tried to shoot them more than once. The yard is surrounded by a cyclone fence that muscles into the shot.
So I’ve cropped these shots. Smaller units are part of the housing development but they face another direction.
