Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
A neighbor on NextDoor asked if I’d post this image of a cow elk wearing a tracker, and I’m happy to oblige.
Trackers are used to stop traffic on Hwy. 101 and to allow the herd to safely cross. Note that one ear also has a tag. Otherwise, her tracker serves as an attractive conversation starter, if nothing else. I’ve googled for more info but wasn’t able to TRACK down the reason for the tag.
If any of you have witnessed a crossing, please comment!
What better way to start a new week than with a rainbow!
Somehow rainbows seem to signal new beginnings and although I captured this one several years ago, I think it’s rather appropriate now. It signals a fresh start not only for the new week, but a new year, and a new focus.
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.
Hi gang! I’m Peg Hanson, your new Sequim Daily Photo photographer and digital artist.
I had the pleasure of meeting and getting to know Colleen several years ago through the Olympic Peaks Camera Club and she’s a hard act to follow here, just as she was with the camera club. I want to thank her kindly for handing over the reigns and getting me started on this exciting journey!
Although I’ve accepted the challenge of taking over the site (not without some mentoring, of course) I hope you’ll welcome me as warmly as you did Colleen and that you’ll continue to share your comments and inspirations along the way.
It’s my goal to get to know all of you, to learn from you, to expand the readership and, of course, to showcase Sequim, the Peninsula, and other travel destinations through my labors of love – photography and art.
The Sequim Granary Building, downtown Sequim.
