I hope this is one of the last of the leafless wintry views as the trees around here begin to explode with green.

The Library
I don’t think we’ve shown the Library here lately. It’s on Sequim Avenue. Friends of the Library host monthly used book sales in a tiny building behind this one.
Pink!
The view along Seventh Avenue has come to life as spring arrives.
Eye-catcher
This gate caught my eye the other day. The ferns and leaves were nicely done.
Sequim Food Bank
The Sequim Food Bank is located at 144 West Alder Street. It’s open on Mondays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon.
Today is the first of the month, Theme Day with City Daily Photo. March’s theme is “Cafe Chairs.” I’ve not been haunting cafes much these days. (For health reasons I’m on a strict self-imposed diet.) Click here to see blogger interpretations of this theme at City Daily Photo. There are some great shots!
A tree that may in summer wear
This big old tree caught my eye as I passed it the other day. It leaned a bit, as trees are sometimes wont to do. But a piece of metal sticking out of its crotch caught my eye.
There’s an assortment of chains and at least two padlocks holding the tree together. I wonder what a professional arborist would think of this.
The Licensing Depot is back
Early last year a controversy erupted between the local Sequim agent who ran our vehicle licensing office and the County Auditor. Long simmering disagreements led, eventually, to the office being shut down. This meant that any business that locals wanted to conduct in person had to be done in Port Angeles. As a former Californian I’ll spare the details, but most things short of a root canal compare favorably to my experiences with the Dept. of Motor Vehicles in that fair state. So driving to Port Angeles to register a trailer last summer wasn’t bad. Dealing with the clerk and the paperwork at the licensing office was fine. Even standing in line for 40 minutes wasn’t terrible. But seeing the new Licensing Depot front and center on Washington Street is a welcome sight. It’s in the same shopping center as J.C. Penney’s and across the street from Safeway.
