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.

Hay!
It’s been a long and productive season for haying. Farmers will hay fields around here at no cost if they can keep the hay. Then they’ll stockpile it as feed. This run of bales goes on and on, probably the distance of a couple of acres or more (a little over 3/4 hectare).
Summer cheer
Most summer flowers seem pretty cheerful. But I think if they were ranked sunflowers would probably top the list.
And the only thing more cheerful than a sunflower is an entire field of them. I’ve been patiently watching these come into bloom for about a month.
They’re at a small farm on Sequim-Dungeness Road that sells eggs and a variety of vegetables. They were out of eggs but I picked up some exquisitely fresh beets. And I’ll bet it won’t be long before they’re selling bunches of sunflowers.
Summer lunch
Summer offers a very sweet benefit: lunch outside. Under the grape arbor at Alder Wood Bistro is a perfect place to enjoy a warm day, good meal, and great friends.
The one problem is when someone else orders what I should have and didn’t. Salad envy.
The only consolation in a case like this is to order the Bistro’s signature “Chocolate Bliss” for desert. It will obliterate any second guessing about a perfect meal.
Stripes
The stripes on the roof of this barn should be familiar to anyone who drives along Hendricksen Road.
Based on these occupants I don’t think there’s much going on in this barn.
Summer silhouette
When I first posted a winter silhouette of this tree in April of last year, another blogger suggested that I revisit it when it had leaves. Good idea. Here it is in the fullness of summer (different camera, slightly different perspective). I may try again.
Out standing in a field
This vintage vehicle has been parked in a field for months now. At first I thought it was an old bus. On closer examination I’m guessing it’s a recreational vehicle from an earlier era, in the days before Winnebagos.
It’s anybody’s guess what it’s doing there. My take is that it’s an inheritance whose new owner who may have no idea where to start.
