During the summer it might be possible to drive by this farm on Old Highway 101 and not see the barn hidden behind the trees. Not now…what leaves were left on the trees have now been blown away…in to my yard.

Compared to the branches all over the road I saw as I drove in to Sunland today, this puny little dead branch that fell and knocked my bird feeder cockeyed, seems like nothing. But now the clean up begins. They are forecasting another storm on Sunday, but nothing like the last one.

I was playing with the features on my camera..trying to understand how to shoot in black and white. I like this shot of two little hands diving for the snack bowl. The drawing in the foreground is a present for me from one of the children to take home and display on my refrigerator.

Sequim is known for it’s “Banana Belt” climate. Our Chamber of Commerce brags that we have have more Sunny Days than anywhere else in western Washington. They used to post the number of days we had sunshine…now they post the hours. “1551.4 hours this year 1272.9 hours last year”.
This picture, shows the entrance to a local subdivision that boasts a clubhouse and golf. “Sunland” is appropriately named and a lovely place to live.

A break in the storm allowed me to capture this picture of clouds lying below the tops of the mountain. We have more rain forcast for the weekend, with Monday suppose to be very windy.

In front of the present Sequim City Hall a bell is featured prominently. I was not able to find out the history of the bell…yet, but I’m still trying. The rock in front, however, contains a plaque as a memorial to a firefighter who lost his life in the call of duty in 1978.

With all the rain, our local river,“The Dungeness,” only 32 miles long, is in danger of being “in flood”. After a very dry summer, it is hard to complain about rain, but the safety of those who live here is also a concern.
