Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It’s easy to miss this barn alongside Highway 101 and by the looks of it it may not be with us for long.
It sits on a hillside above the highway and it’s tricky to find a good vantage. Here’s a closer view.
Thanks to Patricia for mentioning this to me.
The front of this barn faces onto a road I travel regularly. It’s a pretty spread with a home I admire. I recently approached it from another direction and discovered these three vintage cars, presumably waiting for attention. All are Fords. My husband estimates they are probably a 1950, 1954, and 1955. Then he launched into a nostalgic story about sleeping in the back of one of these many, many years ago.
In our early days together hubby regularly waved at passing old cars saying, “I had one of those!” He bought many for $25, tinkered with them, and then drove them until they ran out of drive.
The light wasn’t great but I thought this was an interesting barn. Pulled over. Got out of the car and walked up to the fence. Took the shot.
Now, I fear, I may be on wanted signs in the local post office. People can be prickly about their land around here. Notice the camera at the top center of the innocent looking barn.
Last weekend was our 117th annual Irrigation Festival. This is what it’s all about.

I love the nostalgia and beauty of barn photographs. . .but what I like even more is to see a good looking working farm. I means someone is making a living providing the food and fiber we need. That strikes me as a win-win.
Here’s a closer view.
Although I’ll still post, I’m away for a few days and may not be able to check in regularly. See you soon!
Because this is an historic farming community, it shouldn’t be surprising that some of the local barns that remain have some of the most beautiful settings in the region. Farmers love the land and, living here, I can certainly see why.
Today would normally be a Theme Day for bloggers with City Daily Photo. Regrettably, the CDP site has been down as a result of what I understand was a malicious attack. Blogger Julie Storey has established a linky for bloggers who still wish to participate. This month’s theme is cobblestones. If you’d like to check out the offerings, here is where to look: www.cdpbthemeday.blogspot.com.au.
