I have two of my father’s cameras and this is taken in the early morning. Zoom lens, looking across Port Townsend Bay at Mount Tahoma, aka Mount Ranier.

Hurricane heart
On Sunday I went to Hurricane Ridge with two friends and skied. It was sunny and gorgeous and the mountains were out. I have never skied up there before. There is a rope tow on the front side and a poma lift on the back. I hadn’t ridden a poma before and it’s been years since I rode a t-bar lift….. used unfamiliar muscles going up the hill as well as down!
Bluer
As the sun set last night, everything became bluer. The light was so gorgeous, fading….
Blue and pink too
I went down to the beach last night with my camera, to catch the light from the setting sun on the clouds and walk the beach.
I am realizing that I like my house but I love being outdoors and I love my work and writing and photography and knitting and exercise…. the end result is that organizing the house after 10 years of being a single mom, full time doctor and opening my own clinic, along with my sister’s and father’s deaths…. well, I’d rather be outside than work on the house. If sorting the house takes time, I don’t mind. I want to walk on the beach and see the sunset more than I want to organize….
Come with me…..
Moon rise
I took this yesterday with my cell phone. The sun was setting and moon rising and it was gorgeous.
Ridge and clouds
Good morning, clouds. Good morning, mountains. Good morning, reader and I hope your day is blessed.
This is taken from the ferry going from Whidby Island to Port Townsend.
Front over Tahoma
A distant Mount Tahoma taken from the beach with the evening sun lighting the edge of the front. Beautiful.
Reveal
The bird napping in the tree is a great blue heron. In the last two posts, the heron had its head tucked under its wing. I did not try to get closer because I did not want to disturb the nap any more. The clue from a distance was that the heron is only about 30 feet up in the tree and looked huge: too big for an owl or a hawk and not an eagle.
The Kai Tai Lagoon Nature Park is right down the hill from my house, about 5 blocks, and near Safeway and two blocks from our busiest road. And we have lots of birds….
Sky over mountains
The Olympic Mountains were visible along the horizon from the ferry yesterday. They are huge and wild, still. But the sky is bigger, isn’t it? The sky and the clouds dwarf the mountains….
Ferry view
I was crossing from Coupeville to Port Townsend yesterday afternoon, and the Olympic Mountains were gorgeous. I wanted to capture the haze between the lower ridge and the high peaks, mist and mystery.
