Students at Sequim High School make these flower baskets every year and they’re hung along our downtown Washington Street. They’re pretty even on a gloomy day and I hate to see them come down at the end of summer.

Non-buyer’s remorse
I saw this table full of beautiful pottery at the Farmer’s Market last weekend. The platters caught my eye but I couldn’t justify the impulse. Now I’m home with a photo full of temptation. I just may have to go back.
Old John Deere
If you like old farm equipment you’re sure to find some here and there around an old farming community.
This John Deere is parked outside Evergreen Towing in Sequim. This is a closer look for those who are interested in how these things work.
Old timer
This Evergreen Towing truck looks like it’s seen many years of service.
We’re accustomed to modern hydraulics. There were more cables and pulleys in the “good old days.”
Rusting Rooster
The Rusting Rooster opened late last year in downtown Sequim. It certainly looks like a fun shop. It features “upcycled, repurposed, vintage, local art, and cool finds.” Can’t argue with that. At least for now it’s only open on Fridays and Saturdays.
There has been an assortment of businesses at this location. Since I’ve been here there has been an auto repair shop and auto detailing. And through it all the Texaco and the Chevron express lube signs have remained. At least one of the businesses tried to get the Chevron sign removed. After all, Chevron wasn’t there anymore. But Sequim has a sign code that doesn’t permit a sign to be removed if it’s been in place for some measure of time. At least I think that’s what it is. Truthfully, I don’t understand the code. Bottom line: the sign stays, even if Chevron doesn’t.
With a little help from Photoshop
It was a flat, grey day but I liked the branches of this tree so into Photoshop it went. Here’s how it emerged.
Not content to leave well enough alone, I played with the colors, too. It’s not to my liking but it helped me get through a brief tantrum: “NOOOO!!!! I don’t want grey days again!” That’s the sort of thing that helps when there’s no chocolate in the house.
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church
St. Luke’s Episcopal Church has crisp, clean lines that have long tantalized me. The other day I had a clear shot of its steeple in the late afternoon.
I was in the neighborhood behind it one morning last week and caught this shot. I love the roof lines.
