Point Williams/Schmuck Road Barn

This is pushing the season a bit into spring color, but in my world, art knows no season and spring can never come soon enough.

This rather dilapidated but nostalgic barn is a favorite of mine; I see it on my daily drive through Sequim searching for elk, birds, or compelling scenery. And since it appears to be deteriorating rapidly, I’m glad I captured it when I did, but sad to see it go.

The image started as a photograph, but while editing it, I felt a more painterly approach was in order and so I used several digital filters to enhance it, at least to my liking.

I’ll leave it to my readers to help me determine the owner, its history and why it’s being left to collapse tho.

Winter Color

While checking the view from the Dungeness Cemetery, I took a sharp turn and wandered down Lamar Lane.

While peeking through the trees, I found this warm spot of color at a farm field I am unfamiliar with, although I hope my readers will fill me in. I’d love to know the story of the farm and to meet the owner(s) – to assure them I was NOT trespassing if nothing else!

Quintessential Sequim

Sequim is not without its icons, and this incredible lady is one of them.

While on my daily birding run, I found her (name unknown) leisurely passing by in horse and buggy, with dogs in tow, while willing to chat, and more than willing to pose for my camera.

I can think of nowhere else in the world that one might stumble over this scene, other than in Sequim! To me, she is the epitome of what Sequim represents – rural roots and neighborly charm.

But unfortunately, although I photographed her in April of 2021, I lost track of her, as well as my communication with her. So I’m asking all of you to help me locate her…or to at least provide me with an avenue to contact her.
