Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
The economy was in deep doldrums when we moved to Sequim. Though it didn’t stop completely, new construction seemed to slow to a crawl. Or maybe slower.
As summer drew to a close this year it seemed like there were new buildings going up all over the place. Big, small. You name it.
Unlike California, builders work pretty much year round here. They make hay whether the sun shines or not.
We stumbled into a portrait session on the trail in the Dungeness Recreation Area the other day. As the sun went down they moved into a field and deployed a reflector.
My nasturtiums have been going great gangbusters this year. They started early. By mid-summer they looked like they’d had it for the year. Now they’re back again, even more glorious than before.
Some of the volunteers have stripes and are different shades than the originals. The plants have reseeded and come back on their own.
It was the last of daylight and these branches looked so interesting.
There’s a new branch of the North Olympic Library System (“NOLS”) on West Washington Street. There’s not much to it but it’s a fine addition to Sequim. If you can’t read the sign on the side of the, uhm, “building,” NOLS says about its books to enjoy them, share them, return them, or keep them forever.
Imagine that! No fines for late books! This tiny branch is next door to Doodlebugs.
This looks like a communal bird feeder. So is the sign a warning for everyone to only eat their fair share?
This bike wouldn’t have much speed in a competition but it could certainly crush opponents.
