I’m not sure what good a fence does if it just ends instead of connecting to another section of fence or a building, but this one does.

Storm Clouds Over Mts Ellinor and Washington
This was an early winter storm that came in while I was out walking the valley. The top of the ridge with the lowest snow is just over 3000 feet (about 915 meters). The snow stuck around on the high ground, but it was gone the next day on the trees. Mt Ellinor – Mt Washington are the southeastern most corner of the Olympic Mountains (not in Olympic National Park). There is a low point between the two summits that is obscured with clouds in this image … Ellinor is lower by several hundred feet and is on the left.

Alders are a lot more tolerant of wet ground around their root systems. The foreground is a very wet, marshy area that the alders can encroach on, but the firs and hemlocks can’t tolerate.

I struggled for a while with the cropping on this image. The big question was whether to leave in the red trim on top. In the end, I decided it made a nice contrast to the greens. But I’m still not sure. Here’s the version without.

Old Tools
Hanging tools on the side of a shed or garage is a great way to keep them off the ground and minimize rusting. Hanging them on the side of a house can be more problematic. The wind can move them around and there will be clunks in the middle of the night.
