Sailboat in Point Hudson Marina

I’ve realized that I’m not much of a journalist. I went downtown to photograph a Concerts on the Dock performance of the Delta Rays. I did enjoy the music but when it came to posting a photo, I had to put up the better picture, rather than the one that recorded the concert. BTW, the boat is named Martha. Okay, now I’m feeling guilty. Here’s a shot of the Delta Rays, too.

Late night reflections in Port Townsend's Boat Haven

An hour of stillness, a boat moored, a photograph. Night rests in peace in the Boat Haven.

Beating the heat in a kayak

Warm August days got you down? Get out on the water. Our 50 degree water will cool you down. The guy in back is cheating. Since she’s not looking he’ll let her paddle.

Washing down a boat in Port Townsend's Point Hudson Marina

Boats are romantic. Some boats, especially sailboats are beautiful. The sad truth is that boats are a lot of work. Here we see a fellow hosing down his boat in Point Hudson Marina. In the background is the Northwest Maritime Center.

Last evening the Center opened its first juried photography show, On The Water: An Exhibition of Maritime Photography. I didn’t win any prizes but did get two photos into the show, Moon Over Maritime Center and Chinook. I’m excited, as this is the first time I’ve ever entered a juried show.

Port Townsend's Boat Haven by moonlight

It was a beautiful and calm night. The moon was out. As I do, I went down to the Boat Haven to shoot yet another reflection of the boats with the moon.

See Watery Wednesday for more water related photos.

Boats moored in Port Townsend Bay on a foggy morning

It’s been a pretty foggy summer, at least the mornings have been. One of the side effects of fog is to give scenes like this a great sense of distance. I feel like I’m looking at something very far away.
