Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
The barns of the Sequim Prarie are slowing being surrounded by subdivisions. One of the last dairy farms just sold. Not all of the barns are old…some, like this one, are relatively new. I had stopped at a friends house to pick daliahs and I couldn’t resist. For previous posts on barns, click here and here.
This barn looks in sad disrepair, but is still used as storage for Henry’s Nursery, located on the corner of Sequim Dungeness and Port Williams Road. The farm house, located on the property is currently for rent. I don’t know that I would want to live at that busy round-a-bout, but the landscaping is great!
Last week I had to get up at 5:45 a.m. to make it to the first week of classes for PCC. My job had changed and I am teaching a early morning GED class. Previously I didn’t have personal knowledge of 5:45 a.m. On the way I was looking for things to take pictures of and happened to look up. This is the cross on our local Sequim Community Church.
Would you believe we don’t have taxi’s in Sequim? It is true. There are buses, para-transit, a private transportation bus system, but the three taxi’s are gone. However, when I saw 5 kids pile out of this SUV at a soccer practice, I decided this was definately a soccer mom’s taxi. Check out her green bumper sticker and the basketball stickers….and then check out the other sites around the world for more “taxi” pictures.

I’ve posted two pictures today. I loved the color of this house, the sunflowers, and the beautiful crisp sky. We are enjoying the last of an Indian Summer here on the Olympic Peninsula. A change in weather is forcast for next week. September and October are my two favorite months here in the Northwest. Note the wood carving in the lower left corner. You will see more of these in the next week.
In near by Port Angeles I spotted these sunflowers. Although past their prime, I was struck by their height and beautiful color.
Someday I want to be able to take photographs like Wildlight Photo Gallery artist Zach Holmes.
