Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
Although not always picturesque or pretty, the beach at 3 Crabs Road and the Nearshore and Estuarine Restoration Project are the biggest draw for me.
Here I’ve photographed a variety of shorebirds, raptors (Northern Harriers, eagles, herons, etc.) and delighted in the forces of nature as they transform the area into a glow of color to delight the eyes.
This was the river just below the falls. The colors were stunning.
The water was still really flowing from the final melt off.
This is a tiny campground that has been closed on Lake Crescent. But you can still park at the entrance and walk down to the wonderful stream that pours into the lake.
These harbor seals that hang out around protection island are really skittish if on land. Anything makes them dive toward the water. However, once in the water they follow you around like little curious puppies.
This same area was covered in frost this week. This is the Sol Duc river just north of the falls.
