What if…

I pass by this boat in the Port Angeles boatyard often when driving out to Ediz Hook for bird photography. And while I’ve photographed it several times I always saw it as a black and white image.

My opinion changed only after a trip to Cape Verde, off the coast of Africa last year where colorful boats sat perched by the shoreline and served not only to transport fish but to make a statement about the abundant creativity of the island’s residents.

And so I now see this one as an opportunity to get out the crayons so to speak and to get creative! I hope you enjoy the results as much as I do.

Lenticular Clouds, Hurricane Ridge

Another image from my day at Hurricane Ridge (with the dreaded snowshoes)…

Not only were the snowdrifts amazing, the sky was getting darker and more intense by the moment. Soon waves of clouds swirled across the mountains threatening even more snow, wind, and COLD.

After removing the snowshoes, I grabbed my sled, headed off to a section of hard packed snow, quickly landed on my butt and captured this shot shortly thereafter. In my world, success comes at a price!

Dungeness Crab Festival

Every year the festival celebrating everything crab and with whole crab dinners takes place the second weekend of October. (Next year oct 10-12 2025) Bring you crab hat!

Long-long lines are found for the crab dinner (even at $50!) But there are lots of other seafood vendors as well.

First time festival goers..
