The sea at Port Townsend
We were lucky enough to be able to slip away for just a couple of days to Port Townsend, Washington. It was a first visit, but won’t be the last. The weather was alternately sunny and rainy, making magnificent skies and vistas, and even some rainbows which I will post later. This view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca is from the dock at Fort Worden. Back here in the gray, drizzly weather in Seattle, just looking at it makes me smile.
Visit Watery Wednesday and Outdoor Wednesday for more photos on the theme. It’s also straight out of the camera, or SOOC. Love those easy sunny exposures! Click on Sara’s Fave Photos above to return to the latest post.

The sea looks so beautiful and vast, even though I can see land in the distance.

A little sunshine makes for a beautiful seascape.

This is beautiful. Where is Port Townsend ?
I am such a water child – love the way the sea is in line with the sky and clouds 🙂

Been too long since we’ve been to Port Townsend. I remember we were told that the area is a “rain shadow” meaning they don’t get the rain and gray of Seattle. Always thought it would be a great weekend getaway if you lived in Seattle.

There is something about the sea that always calls us back to revisit!! Lovely.
Come see the King and Queen of Watery Wednesday!! If you find time. You’ll probably laugh.

It’s nice to see the Pacific north of my San Francisco home. We’re lucky, I think, to live in this part of the world!
At 65, I’ve done it! My poetry book – Life’s Journey by Carmen Henesy – is out on Amazon!
( Poems about the things that have been important to me in my journey through life, some humorous, some sad, some that may have meaning to you as well )
