Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Our elk still has his Xmas red nose. He gets decorated every year.
Before you come to this sign on hwy 101, there are warning signs that are activated by collars if the elk herd gets within 20 yards of the hwy. I haven’t seen the herd cross but the sign definitely goes off now and then.
The herd definitely comes down into the valley to munch on the open farmlands.
This eagle and its mate were flying all around the end of the bay “talking & squawking” at each other. I can’t believe how used to seeing this I am. I always stop and watch–even after living here for over 3000 days!
Sequim is a BEAUTIFUL place to live.
I guess it’s already here! The road to lower dungeness campground.
IF…you can get up Bell Hill in the winter with snow, you will be treated to beautiful views (it’s always beautiful- but extraordinary in winter)
Here you can see protection island and in the far distance a peak at Mt Baker.
This beautiful island in the Arctic was home to tens of thousands of birds. THe nutrients flowing from the waterfalls supported millions of shrimp–every birds favorite!
My husband hates snow…We were told that it on gets a dusting now and then in Sequim. Well, we have lived here 7 yrs and have had two major storms of over 9 inches. And it seems that every year we get 4-5 inches.
For me it has not been too much. Usually it snows over 5 inches only if you go 100 feet of elevation up into the Olympic mountain foothills–like in this picture.
This is the family homestead of one of my friends. There are lil cabins all over the property. It is beautiful in all seasons, but especially in winter.
This hawk was was fast and far away in the Bosque del Apache. But he was very fun to track and TRY to get a good shot of!
