Photos of My Port Townsend

Mid-day light isn’t what you’d call overly bright. Still it’s nice to see the sun come out over Port Townsend Bay. Puddles tell the story of recent rain.

A gray day, a white and gray bird and a gray fence, a typical December day at the Larry Scott Trail parking lot.

We have a number of places around town where Mallards live year round. It’s easy to take too many similar photos of the birds because they are so colorful and easily become used to people. Here I think the ducks make a nice focal point for this pond photo.

This canoe has lived in the grasses next to Port Townsend’s Boat Haven for at least 5 months. I’ve never seen it moved and have no idea if it’s abandoned or not. I like the line it makes parallel to the logs and shore.

I walk more on the Larry Scott Trail than anywhere else in the area. I like the packed gravel surface and the fact that motorized vehicles are prohibited. That doesn’t mean that I don’t have to look out for larger and faster travelers. Bicycles are a continual presence and horseback riders periodically command their share [...]

When I walk on Larry Scott Trail I often see artists set up near the Boat Haven. The boats and shore there make classic subjects. This is the first time I’ve ever seen anyone set up to paint the very industrial looking Port Townsend Paper Mill.

I realize that I get stuck in ruts, like the one of taking low tide pictures. This was shot near the bench just past the 1/2 mile marker on Larry Scott Trail. The trail is particularly lovely now with an exuberance of wildflowers blooming around it. A Newton Area Photo Weekend Reflections Entry.
