They’re everywhere I drive these days. Some look before they pop out from bushes and cross the road. Others don’t. If you’re a local, keep a keen eye out.

Theme Day: Change
Today’s City Daily Photo theme is “Change,” which is nothing if not constant and in some ways life itself.
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, change means the march into autumn and, inevitably, winter close behind. Early colors are showing in Sequim and it won’t be long until the blaze of colors marks another season.

Total loss
Two weeks ago today, September 16, the Cedars at Dungeness golf course started its day with a devastating fire. This building, located on a hillside at the east side of the property, went up in flames. The building is described as a workshop and storage building. Nobody was hurt but the loss was considerable.
The building was used for golf cart storage and an estimated 50 carts were lost in the blaze. This included rental carts, two beverage carts, and a number of personal carts. As you can see, it was a total loss. The course has been able to borrow carts from two other local golf courses and rent from a third. The equipment lost was insured but this is a tough time to lose so much equipment as September is a busy month.
Sunset
My favorite time of day.
Nice lines
I’ve got to get out and take more pictures. I have plenty of excuses why I haven’t but, well, excuses don’t make much of a post. In the meantime, here’s a handrail I thought interesting in San Diego’s Balboa Park earlier this year.
Animal disappointment
I pulled over next to a small pasture to take a photo. There was a horse grazing in the distance. Then movement caught my eye as the horse quickly trotted over to the fence next to me. Clearly, the sweet guy likes people and is probably rewarded with carrots and such. I was clean out of produce. I apologized but I don’t think he forgave me.
My collection
Aside from my freely acknowledged addiction to all things related to rubber stamps and the making of greeting cards, I don’t collect much stuff. But I do have a small collection of Japanese iron teapots. Under a dozen. I’d probably have more but they cost enough that they don’t qualify for impulse buys. And, thankfully, I don’t find them often. I’m showing you my latest proud acquisition. It’s one that I first found online five years ago. I couldn’t justify it at the time. But I didn’t forget it. Then I couldn’t find it again. Finally, I tired of hide and seek and found it. The only way to guarantee it wouldn’t be lost and forgotten again was to give it a new home. This, to me, is the closest I’ve found to a cross between utility and art.
