I am often mesmerized by the fog. I love the way it dances in between trees and buildings. I could watch it for hours.
The FOG…

Welcome Back To The Olympic Peninsula! And SNOW
It has snowed twice already in 2024 here. (I managed to miss the BIG week of snow in January) I woke up to this–the forecasters said sun all day. THE PNW forecasting job would be a great one. You can be right less than 50% of the time and still keep your job! It is very difficult to forecast here because we are the first place all weather disturbances hit first. Then they more predictably flow across the US. The snow is pretty, but I prefer to go visit IT on my own terms. Living here mean usually I can drive just 10-30 minutes and be in snow all winter.
Come to the light
Ardythe took this at second beach near Kalaloch on the Washington coast.
I hope you enjoyed your week with the art of Ardythe Wendt. Isn’t she inspiring?
The rugged Washington Coast
Rialto beach never disappoints no matter what the weather. Our coastline is NOT great for swimming: Cold/rocky/terrible rip tides/ and lots of floating killer logs. But it is amazing to watch and to photograph.
A natural frame for protection island
From up on Bell Hill you could see protection island and even Mt Baker faintly in the distance. Sequim doesn’t usually get much snow in town. But if you go up just 100 ft into the foothills (like the Bell Hill neighborhood) you’ll find snow.
Sol Duc Beauty
The Sol Duc River splits into these three tails making the falls. This is just the very top of the falls. It’s one of my favorite falls in the area.
Mt Baker shining thru
Mt Baker was the only thing in sunlight this am the other 270 of view was BLACK CLOUDS. It stayed this way for over 4 hours. That is Whidbey island in the foreground
