And the snow lands

I was taken to task for not posting a snow photo. Certainly the recent weather made for some nice photo opportunities in Port Townsend and the surrounding areas.

Paper Wasp Waking From Hibernation

Here's looking at you

Found an old paper wasp nest by the side of the road. We took it home and brought it into the greenhouse, expecting all the residents to have already departed. When the nest began to warm up, this wasp began to move.

Moss grows everywhere.

I love how moss will grow just about anywhere. Here we see the top of an old fence post. That’s quite the little garden growing there.

Safeway's olive bar

Don’t exactly know why I took this photo. It’s in the Port Townsend Safeway. I guess I was hungry. The food does look good.

Photo of house boat construction in Port Townsend's Boat Haven

This thing is supposed to float

I’ve been watching this craft being constructed for several months now. It’s a floating boat. The concrete at the bottom of the craft is hollow and supposedly will keep the house floating. It doesn’t seem to be like this would work, but there’s a lot of money getting paid for the construction. I think that this is only technically a boat.

Crocuses starting to show

It seems early, but here are some crocuses showing their heads. They should flower by February 1.
