The late afternoon shadows of the trees created an interesting repeating pattern … in the distance a father and son, out for a late winter (early spring) walk. This is at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA.
Nice weather in Mid-March brings out plenty of beach walkers in the Puget Sound country. Point Wilson Lighthouse, with the North Central Cascades in the distance.

Just letting you know that there will be a change to my Domain Name. The current name: OlyWaJones worked for me while I was living in Olympia Washington.
Life happens, I retired and moved to Port Townsend. The new domain name will be ajjphotoblog.com. According to the WordPress tech team, no action should be necessary on your part to continue to be notified of new postings … Just make note that the “new” blog you are getting notices from is just the “old” blog that you know and love. (at least, I hope you do!)
Thank you for your continued interest.

Being a ridge or two away from the Hoh Rain Forest in Olympic National Park, the Elwha Valley still gets its fair share of rain. Not anywhere near what the westside valleys get, but still enough that there’s plenty of water. Going for a day hike, it’s always prudent to carry some raingear, regardless of the forecast.
This photo is taken at the point the road is closed due to the washout. The building in the distance is where stock is kept during the summer months. In the old days, this was the location of the Elwha store and gas station.
The lighthouse at Point Wilson at Fort Worden State Park has been an important landmark for well over a century, marking the entrance to Puget Sound from the Strait of Juan de Fuca. Those are the North Central Cascades in the background.
Here’s a close up of the light, showing the weathering from exposure to the salt air and near constant wind.
An interesting pattern of mid-size rocks along the shore at Fort Worden State Park, exposed at low tide. It’s much easier to walk on the sand higher up the beach.
I was walking the beach at Fort Worden and saw a couple of river otters come out of the water (Puget Sound) and climb up onto the rocks. Glad I had my big telephoto with me … and not just my Holga!
I was out for a walk at the beach recently, enjoying the springlike weather. There were a couple of eagles hovering around the top of the bluff, near where they have nested. This one thought there was something for lunch on the shore. Turned out to be a false alarm.
As it left, a gull started following, just in case there was something dropped.
