Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
This is only the very bottom of the falls going into the stream. I forgot how little of the falls you can see from the bottom. Since I tore my knee out, just the walk to the falls was all she wrote. So I took a picture of the trailing end. You’ll just have to go see it for yourself! It’s very impressive-especially during the spring run off.
This is the tunnel that leads you from the storm king parking lot to the trails for both storm king and Marymere Falls. Storm king is a 4+ rated trail to the top of the mountain -but with FANTASTIC views on a clear day. The 1.5 mile trail to the falls is easy and flat. ALTHOUGH to see the whole falls you must climb up a steep 1/4 mile with switchbacks and big steps.
This fortress in the Rocks District of Sydney was used to help protect the bay as far back as the 19th century.
When I hike people often stop and look where I’m looking/photographing and say “What are you looking at?” I’ll say the dirt, or the trees etc… and I often get a “huh…” response. I find beauty EVERYWHERE.
The Whitney Gardens had a greenhouse full of beautiful blooming bleeding heart plants. The only trouble was trying to isolate a branch. So I did remove a lot of competing plants and add a texture to the background in photoshop to make this beautiful flower stand out.
This male Barrow’s Goldeneye was really trying to impress this female. He would dive and flap and make lots of bubbles in the process.
