This Koala would just barely open his eyes every now and then… He never moved otherwise.

Carrie Blake Park
This very diverse park in Sequim has a Japanese garden filled with ducks!
The arms of the forest
I love walking thru the forest when light is peaking thru. When it highlights a bush or a little tree. It’s forest bathing at its best.
This is on the trail to Marymere Falls.
Storm King Tunnel
This is the tunnel that leads you from the storm king parking lot to the trails for both storm king and Marymere Falls. Storm king is a 4+ rated trail to the top of the mountain -but with FANTASTIC views on a clear day. The 1.5 mile trail to the falls is easy and flat. ALTHOUGH to see the whole falls you must climb up a steep 1/4 mile with switchbacks and big steps.
Rise up…
When I hike people often stop and look where I’m looking/photographing and say “What are you looking at?” I’ll say the dirt, or the trees etc… and I often get a “huh…” response. I find beauty EVERYWHERE.
Sequim is a small plane haven…
There are so many private air strips in and around Sequim. We have a very high per capita of retired airline pilots here. This is also right next to the ODT. The variety of things you can see while walking or riding the trail is endless. Come give it a try!
Oh Deer!
While riding on the ODT with my WOW (women on wheels) group. We saw this Baldy up close eating the remnants of a fawn. Most likely a cayote took it down originally.
