Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Last Saturday was a Special Olympics basketball championship tournament in Bremerton. As he has for a number of years, my longtime friend David coached his son’s team.
We try to make it to the tournament each year if we can.
Our team faced stiff competition in both games they played.
In the end everyone is a winner and all the athletes earn medals.
I loved the intimacy of a father sharing time and ice cream with his small children in Poulsbo.

A special note for today: This is my 1600th post since I began with this blog in August 2011…It only goes to prove that time flies when you’re having fun.
This is a detail from a photograph in the Washington State History Museum. During World War II women worked in U.S. industry in unprecedented numbers and many factories were racially integrated for the first time. At the outset of the war the country was woefully ill prepared to fight any war much less one on multiple fronts worldwide. Within a couple of years output of ships, tanks, rifles, and other materiel was astonishing. The military won the war but factory workers fueled the effort.
Honoring Martin Luther King today as well as the legions of others who have fought for social justice.
We visited the newly repaired Railroad Bridge last Sunday morning. There was lots of traffic on the new trestle.
There were plenty of walkers and furry buds.
Runners blew past.
And lots of bicyclists, too. It was a wintry morning but plenty of people were enjoying the bridge again.
I had fun with my camera in 2015. Here are favorite shots through the year.
We stumbled into a portrait session on the trail in the Dungeness Recreation Area the other day. As the sun went down they moved into a field and deployed a reflector.
Tonight is an event for sky watchers. If you’re in the northern hemisphere there will be a “Super Blood Moon eclipse.” For us northerners it’s our Harvest Moon and the eclipse will be visible in North America and western Europe and Africa. In the southern hemisphere it’s the first full moon of spring and the eclipse will be visible primarily in South America. The link I provided here has a link for the times of the eclipse by location.
Last night’s moon didn’t have the drama of an eclipse or the closeness we’ll achieve tonight. But it wasn’t too shabby either.
