Bald Eagle over the bluff on Larry Scott Trail

There are a couple of bald eagles that spend a lot of time around the Larry Scott Trail. This one was kind enough to glide low enough along the bluff to photograph.

Working on a boat in the boat yard

Winter sees a lot of action in the Boat Yard, run by the Port of Port Townsend.

The Larry Scott Trail, one of my favorite walks, passes by the Port Townsend Paper Mill, which is Jefferson County’s largest private employer.

Family on Beach

It’s cloudy and windy but why not bundle the family up, grab the dog, and get outside.

Slough on the Bluff

This slough (rhymes with tough), or small landslide, on the bluff above the Larry Scott Trail reminds us that the cliffs around Port Townsend are not made of rock but of highly compacted silt.  After the heavy rains early last week, this section of bluff slid down, creating a giant bird’s nest out of the displaced blackberry vines.

Windsurfer in Port Townsend Bay

The guy and a buddy spent a bit over an hour cruising around Port Townsend Bay. Here he’s coming back to shore just west of the Boat Haven.

Bicyclist above tidal flats

As I was walking on the Larry Scott Trail I saw this cute folding bike standing there. As I got closer the rider’s head appeared above the rocks of the sea wall. The tidal flats spread out on a low tide.
