I was downtown and walked out onto the public dock that gives a nice view of what’s going on with the weather and saw the sun hitting the ferry dock. Another day, but the same location, I saw this nice collection of bull kelp.

Sunset in Port Townsend
We are having some beautiful clear, warm (for January), winter weather. What a surprise. Our weather this time of year is either cloudy and raining, or clear and cold. It’s almost springlike… I’ll take it!
Sun and Ferry Terminal
This is the Coupeville Ferry Terminal and I was catching the ferry on my way home to Port Townsend, WA. I take photos of crepuscular rays whenever I get a chance … this one has an interesting difference between the left and right sides.
Loading Logs for Export
This is the south end of Budd Bay, the inlet of Puget Sound that comes down into downtown Olympia, Washington. There is pretty limited ship traffic down this far, but one of the few regular uses is for loading logs onto ships for export. The negative side of this is the stream of log trucks bringing loads of logs right through the middle of downtown. Between where I was standing and the log ship you can see the two tugboats that are stationed in Olympia when there is shipping traffic.
Partial Rainbows
I expect that partial rainbows are much more common than full rainbows. We get both kinds pretty often here in Port Townsend … one of the advantages of our frequently rainy weather (and there aren’t many). But I saw several in a couple of days the last week or so. The rain plus broken clouds did the trick.
