This is the northwest corner of Fort Worden State Park where it runs into North Beach County Park. The folks that refuse to buy a State Park parking permit park there to walk into the trails in the Fort. The land visible on the other side of the water is Vancouver Island.
This is one of my favorite spots at Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA. I’m not sure why, except that you are standing on a cement runway that a huge WWI era spotlight ran on out to the edge of a cliff. There you can look (almost) straight down to the beach. I’ve taken this same photo a number of times over the years. These are two that caught my eye as I was working on selecting images for the blog this week.
One of the phases that madrona go through each year is the glowing colors they present in Spring. The bright reds and greens are a visual treat. These are some that I enjoy on one of my regular walks up the hill in Fort Worden State Park in Port Townsend, WA.
These were both taken recently… the above is one of those trees that holds onto their leaves until spring. Just to make sure that there is raking year round, I guess.

I found this row of them at Fort Worden in Port Townsend … but they are spread widely. There is a long row of them along the main road into downtown PT.
