Tranquil neighbors

Our quietest neighbors, and that's saying a lot in this peaceful town.

They do love the lawn mower, though. Whenever we start up the mower, they come over to see what's up, and see if they get any of that nice green tender food.

Driving to 'town'

Living in a small town has one drawback - for some medical testing we have to drive to Port Angeles ( 1 hour away), and, sometimes, Bremerton (4 hours away). Thankfully, the drive between Forks and Port Angeles looks like this. Even with spots on the windshield from the bugs, there is no bad view. The first shot is just along Highway 101.

With part of the drive being along Lake Crescent, sometimes you could almost wish it would take longer. Come to think of it, those tests aren't that important, are they? Well, okay, but at least we get the same incredible views on the way back, too.

How many people can claim this kind of view on the way to the doctor?

Sky Watch Friday - Eastern sunset colors

I know that sounds like I'm a bit daft, but this picture was taken of our eastern view at sunset. The clouds were reflecting so beautifully, you'd think it was sunrise, but it's not. All of the purples and reds didn't quite show up in the photo, either.

ABC Wednesday - E is for ...

...Edna Mobile,

Engine 061 from the DNR,

Emergency vehicle,

and Elks Lodge Entry,

all from the the Forks Old-Fashioned 4th of July parade this year.

Hmmm, maybe I should look there for next week's 'F' photos...

I missed getting a picture of the Elwha River, which would have been a natural. Maybe, next round.

Two weather faces today

Mowing the field across the way, this morning before the storm hit, with a very happy dog chasing whatever caught his eye.








The evening sky with rain and storm. You can't see the winds blowing, but it is a good storm.

Nice.

Sky Watch Friday

Clouds and sunshine over the cooling towers of the nuclear facility at Elma, on Highway 101 on the way to Olympia.

ABC Wednesday - D is for Design

D is for Design in Diamonds on the Deck.

We were making bubbles on the deck and the soap collected in the diamond design in the table on the deck, making rainbows in each diamond.
