Beachfront bar on Grand Turk

Well, I played hooky for a while. When people in Port Townsend suffered through wind and rain, I may have been drinking rum (among other things) in the Caribbean.

Respite from the storm

When it’s windy in Port Townsend there’s a nice place to take a walk, H.J. Carroll Park in Chimacum.

Beachcraft Model 18

This is a WWII era plane that was parked at the Jefferson County International Airport. It’s amazing the number of planes built in that era that are still around.

This seemed appropriate for a Skywatch Friday photo.

Two young men enjoying the sunset

After almost three weeks of continual overcast and rain, having a clear and mild day was quite a treat. Here are two guys enjoying the sunset from North Beach.

This is a Weekend Reflection photo.

Lower Chimacum Creek at low tide

There is only one stream on the upper Quimper Peninsula that runs year round, Chimacum Creek. It is used by chum salmon for spawning and has seen quite a bit of habitat restoration. Here it flows through a tidal flat where it meets Port Townsend Bay in Irondale.

This area used to be a storage dump for logging operations. Now it is a county park.

Women's Crew in Port Townsend Bay

It’s just starting to get light in the morning and these women are headed out to practice their rowing. As you would expect in a seaside town with an active population and a protected bay, it’s pretty common to see rowing sculls like this on the water.

Sunrise Fisherman

This fellow was out early to fish off Point Wilson in front of the lighthouse.
