Wrong Time of Year

Backlit Autumn Colors

I was going through my photo archive looking for photos that the new editing tools might be able to ‘fix’ … when I found this one that didn’t even need fixing. Not sure why I didn’t share it before, and didn’t want to wait until October to share it. So, here it is now in early summer / late spring. Just a reminder to enjoy the warm weather while we have it.

That reminds me of my Uncle Dave commenting to my Aunt Maisie after the June Solstice, that the days were getting shorter. They lived in Alaska, so thinking of the coming short days was not something folks liked to do in June. My Aunt would just reply “Stop it!” … although she had lived with him long enough that she didn’t really expect him to quit.

I have a book available on the Kindle site. It is a memoir titled 60 Years of Hiking in the Olympics. It has over 100 photographs and covers more than 100 different hikes and backpacks. I have it priced to share at $2.99 (US).

Here’s the link:

Bouquets on a Fence Post

Bouquet on Fence Post 1

I have shared some images from this location before, but it is nice to provide an update that this is still going on: a person living along the Larry Scott Trail (a rail to trail project in Port Townsend) maintains these bouquets along the trail. Such a nice thing to do …

The Larry Scott Trail is a rails-to-trails project that runs south of Port Townsend, WA. It is intended to be a section of the Olympic Discovery Trail, running from Port Townsend across the northern Olympic Peninsula to the Pacific. Some of the folks along the trail decorate this fence post with flowers from their yard. It’s a very nice thing to do.
