Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
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.
This is me at Kitty B’s Lavender farm in Sequim.
I love the light between 8-9pm. Definitely the Golden Hour.
The festival starts tomorrow. It’s always the 3rd weekend in July. This year the lavender is a a little late but it is blooming. If you’ve never been, the different farms all have music, food, gift tents, and of course Lavender EVERYTHING!!!
Freedom started as a lil idea that grew. Just like this lil baldy.
We should never take for granted that they will both still exist without our help!
This heron stood on the sculpture in the Japonese Garden of Carrie Blake park all afternoon and greated visitors for the festival.
Having worked in hospitals treating head injuries for over 20 years, I’ve seen the aftermath of way too many car accidents…especially on New Year’s eve. Stay safe everyone!
These shots were taken using intentional camera motion. FUN to play with.
Sequim is all about its lavender in July and August. The 3rd weekend in July is always lavendar festival. Although the last 2 covid years have put a big damper on things. The fields are once again open this year.
My friend Diana was smiling but also saying hurry up–there’s bees in here!
