We’ve had some glorious autumn days. Perfect days for walking.

Just don’t
Entrance to one of the trails at Dungeness Recreation Area. You can’t read all the signs in this shot but suffice it to say there are a lot of things you shouldn’t do.
Happy spot
Not long after we moved here we sat on this bench, looking at the view and celebrated our good fortune in living in Sequim. We don’t always take the path past this bench but on a day like this I remember those moments. I still feel fortunate.
Dungeness Recreation Area
The trail meanders a short distance through a wooded area and then opens onto this view. Access to the bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca near here has recently been moved inland because of erosion. But this view helps make up for the loss of a beautiful water vantage.
How green is the valley
The spot where this is taken is one of the best places to view the Dungeness Valley. I’ve shown this view before and chances are good that I’ll show it again. It’s hard to tire of this vista.
Sandy diary
The bluffs at Dungeness Recreation Area are partially composed of powdery, fine sands. On this particular day light, blown sand mapped out the day’s activities by walkers and bicyclists.
Serviceberries
These plump little native berries ripen at the height of summer. They feed birds, wildlife, and passing walkers like us who look forward to them every year. Abundant rains this spring assured a good crop. They’re not the tastiest of mini fruits but a handful of them on our salad the other night was a nice addition. I’m told they’re high in antioxidants. They’re also called Saskatoons.
