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!
River Otters
Hunting Eagle
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.

Cloudscape
In addition to the cloudscape, I was attached by alternating bands of light in this image.

Marina Sunset
When we had a clearing late in the day, I headed down to the beach in downtown Port Townsend to catch the sunset. I thought the strong backlighting of the fishing fleet was an interesting contrast to the homes on the hillside and a faint hint of the mountains in the distance.

The Kennewick in Stormy Weather
I enjoy walking in stormy weather and this October day was perfect for that. The rain shadow of the Olympic Mountains protects Port Townsend (some) but it is often very windy. Walking along the beach downtown, I noticed the ferry Kennewick coming into town. I was a little surprised, since in high winds they often cancel that ferry run.
