What I love most about Sequim…

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.

Let me introduce myself…

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.

I’ll leave you now with this…

I took this photo in 2015 in Yellowstone. It was the first time I ever used manual settings in camera. I was on the first of MANY adventures with the McKay Photo Academy. I’ll be forever grateful to them for really starting my photography journey. I’ve literally been all over the world with them and their team.

I’ve appreciated you all so much and know that you will really enjoy the work Of Peggy Hanson. I may make a guest appearance or two when she’s off on some adventure… but for now farewell.
