Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
It was cold and wintery day for a trip to anywhere, but the view from one of our ferries can make it all worthwhile. The Cascade Mountains were peeking through the clouds and the early morning sun displayed a range of color from a beautiful blue to a soft and lovely magenta.
Whenever I board the ferry, I’m always hoping for leaping orcas, humpbacks, or dolphins, but there was no whining from me on this trip…and that in itself is remarkable!
Sky at the bottom? The reflections at John Wayne Marina were beautiful today. It was so still after all the wind storms/Cyclone bombs we’ve had lately…
I had just watched the horror movie THE FOG on Halloween when the next day a thick fog came into Sequim bay. But if lightly lifted just around the marina to give me this shot for just a few seconds.
Precovid at least 5 LARGE cruise ships passed thru the straight on the way to Alaska. They almost all stopped in Victoria, where we found the Disney Wonder.
I loved the Donald Duck and Nephew characters hanging off the stern.
We are finally seeing at least three 3 ships every week now..sometimes more.
Well a bay without an oar..but you get the picture. My husband was crabbing in in Sequim Bay, but the oar lock doesnt work and the oar kept coming out and floating away. Here her rescued it…but his expression tells it all!
Every September Port Townsend hosts the Wooden Boat Festival (unless there is a raging pandemic of course!)
Boat makers show their wares. Owners let people board their vessels. It’s a boat street festival with people from all over the united states attending.
I was able to get this shot early before anyone had arrived. Processed in Topaz 2 to give it a painterly effect.
