Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Migration time is coming and geese have been virtually paving a local pond. As I watched, many flocks came in to join the party. Throughout the days lately we’ve seen countless flocks in flight across the sky, flying in circles, forming wedges, joining together and breaking apart.
This pond is directly across the road from the one above. It seems to say a lot about the social preferences of geese.
Everywhere I go I see lots of color these days. It’s certainly time to take it all in. A few good storms will soon enough blow the leaves away and we’ll have to look elsewhere for color.
I first posted shots of this station years ago. It’s post-worthy because I don’t think Texaco exists anymore. And, also, because this little station is nestled behind a fence and apparently belongs to a fan of Texaco memorabilia.
Old farm equipment has appeared along the fence since the last time I photographed this place, as has the not-exactly-period car that’s parked beyond the gas pumps.
This orange tree looked better each time I drove past it. On this day it was beautifully lit as I approached. Then I stopped and the light went out. I waited. And waited. Cloudy autumn days are capricious.
These houses have caught my attention more than once. But that little peak on the far right, poking up through the green, prompted a drive down a side road in its direction.
It turned out to be a garage. Certainly unlike any typical garages I’m used to seeing.
A nearby home seemed pretty interesting too. I like the details.
Once eagles take wing from a perch they really go fast. I clipped a wing on this shot but like it anyway.
I can’t pretend I kept up with this flight.
When I looked back to where this flight had started both eagles were gone and a pair of white tails were retreating into the distance.
I heard eagles calling as I finished a walk yesterday. Two were perched in a nearby tree. You may call them what you wish but I named them “Victoria” and “Albert.”
Duty called and Victoria took off. Albert followed soon after.
