Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Every September Port Townsend hosts the Wooden Boat Festival (unless there is a raging pandemic of course!)
Boat makers show their wares. Owners let people board their vessels. It’s a boat street festival with people from all over the united states attending.
I was able to get this shot early before anyone had arrived. Processed in Topaz 2 to give it a painterly effect.
Several kayakers were enjoying the area around log cabin resort on the north side of the lake.
This guy was following our boat down the lake. He would fly ahead by about 20 yards and wait for us. When we caught up he’d fly the next 20 yards.
This is such a typical scene in Port Townsend. Deer “helping” to prune as a gardener works in her yard.
This was near the street festival and stopped traffic in all directions with visitors snapping photos and shocked that they could get so close.
This was ONE mom and 4 babies…I think something must have happened to another mom.
The Olympic Discovery Trail now runs completely around the North side of the lake. It is pedestrian and now bike friendly (no more gravel!)
You have to bring a light source because the tunnels are pitch black, but they aren’t too long. Below the bridge are kayakers enjoying the day.
There are almost always Kingfishers at the three crabs estuary.
Lake Crescent has very few people on it even in the summer. The only disturbance to the glassy surface was own own trail.
