Sequim Daily Photo

Beautiful View

Sequim has so many working farms with beautiful views like this.

Hoards of trumpeter swans come each spring to eat bugs out of the newly cut fields. They fly into the fields from ???? just at sunrise. You have to catch them then because after they land they hang out in muddy fields eating all day.

The feeders all say Squirrel Proof… NOT chipmunk proof

They are really prolific this year. However they are very cute so we don’t mind.

Morning Light Across The Olympics

I woke up early to go shoot birds in the 3 crabs area. When I first entered onto hwy 101 I saw this light on the mountains. I had to stop and take a photo. It really doesn’t do the light justice. It was breathtaking.

OOPS…

I wish I could have taken this 20 minutes sooner when the boat was 45 degrees sideways. He is not the first sailboat to not read the tide charts correctly and get beached. It was a BIG sailboat. If you zoom in you’ll see him at the left/back inspecting the boat. He did get released about 5 hours later and moved to deeper water.

The mountains and buildings in the far background are actually Vancouver Island, across the straight.

Protection Island–Eagle

There are eagles galore on Protection Island just off Sequim. I was shooting off a very bouncy boat. No people are allowed on the island. That is actually Mt Baker in the background that looks like a cloud.
