Our “Swains Outdoor Shop” has moved and downsized. They used to have tons of flowers and plants to choose from. Looks like good plants, but slim pickins in comparision to last year.

The Fountain at Lehman Court – Repost
One of the “shopping arcades” in downtown has a small metal fountain with a water animal theme.. I like this heron and the fish. I wish I could remember the name of the artist. It’s the pits getting old. I have now added a small notebook to my camera bag…just to write down things so when I get back I can write intelligently.
Big Wheels – Repost
Although logging is not the industry it once was in this area, you will still see these big trucks with their log carriers barreling down the highway. This picture was taken on a Sunday. I’m not sure if their drivers had the day off (highly unlikely) or if they just weren’t hauling at the moment.

One of the Bunkers at Salt Creek – Repost
As you drive around at the Salt Creek recreation area, you will see concrete bunkers. These were part of “Ft. Hayden” and used to store ammunition and to mount large guns to protect the strait. For more information on this part of history, visit the Ft. Hayden site.
The House at Salt Creek – Repost
There is more than one house at Salt Creek, but this one sets just back from the mouth and next to the parking lot for the trail head. I envy these folks their front yard and their view….maybe not the parking lot, but folks here are pretty respectful.
More Salt Creek – Repost
The tide was in when I stopped by. Still there were hikers and surfers (burrrr!) More tomorrow.
Winter Fishing – Repost
I stopped by “Salt Creek” today and found this avid fisherman trying out his flyrod. He didn’t catch a thing while I was there. I will be sharing some other pictures of one of my favorite recreation areas close to Sequim.
