Theme Day: Where I belong

Mtns and barn

This photo tells you a little about the place where I belong, Sequim (pronounced “Skwim”). It’s a small town on the Olympic Peninsula, Washington State U.S.A. Rather than recite details of what this place is, I’ll tell you this: I lived most of my life in one of the most arguably beautiful places in the world, the San Francisco Bay Area.

I’ve lived here, in Sequim, for six years. I wake up each day eager to see the view out my windows. Yesterday I saw four bald eagles in flight. People wave as you drive by. Those mountains, above, anchor me and give me a sense of place. Is this where I belong? You can bet on it.

  1. Kay, thank you so much for posting pics of Sequim these last few days, they are really great.

    We have spent 1.5 years in the San Francisco area (having moved from Sequim area) and are now going back home in May (you published pictures of our new home by “Lake Dungenness” a few weeks ago).

    We’re so looking forward to being back where we belong!

  5. Wow — what a terrific landscape! Add in the friendly residents who wave at you and the eagles soaring by… and Sequim sounds like a wonderful community.

    P.S.: Thanks for the phonetic spelling of Sequim. To think I’ve been mispronouncing it in my head all this time!

  8. Thrilled to meet you and to see this fabulous shot. But it is your words that resonate and make me add you to my blogroll. Be seeing you!

  11. Four bald eagles! Well that’s not something you see everyday Kay! I can see exactly why you love Sequim, the mountains are spectacular. I think that when you are lucky enough to find that place in the world that gives you that ‘sense of place’ the search is over.
