I spotted this beauty and his buddy in a field as I was driving by. I’m used to seeing them in Texas and Oklahoma. Perhaps they were lost.

This is “Blue Mountain”. If you Google Blue Mountain in Sequim, you will find lots of information about businesses who have adopted the name, the B lue Mountain Transfer Station and a cemetery from the 1800’s…but nothing about the mountain. As I was leaving the other evening, the sky was putting on quite a show and it was easy to see why it was given the name.
Today is your chance to visit sites all around the world and check out what is “blue” in their community. Just click on the links below. Remember there is a time difference, so visit often!

I didn’t misspell the word…I know it should be Olympic. I have no idea why this sign is spelled with an “I” instead of a “Y”. It hangs close to the corner of Old Olympic Highway and Cays Road. Do any of the locals have any ideas…or know the story? Goggling it gave me nothing. Hum, I guess I’ll have to stop and ask. Oh yes…and no wisecracks about this being a female cow and “Bessie” being a boy. I’ve decided to call him “Bob”.

Happy Halloween! Bundle up those kiddos and make sure they have flashlights. Moms and Dads…it would be great if you would go with your kids….and I love giving candy to those who remember to say “thank you”!

Come back tomorrow for a view of “blue”. It’s theme day on DCPB and I can’t wait to see what blue things you have all posted.

I took this one as I was leaving the bluff…yesterday’s post.

On the way to the Voice of America campground at the Dungessness Spit, are two pullouts where you can get wonderful views of the Strait of Juan de Fuca. If you look close at the second thumbnail you can see two ships laying alongside, waiting for the morning before they take off again.
