Coupeville is one of the oldest towns in Washington, I am told. We were here last year at this time. Don’t you just love the starry diamonds on the water?

This ferry-in-the-sunset photo is very similar to one I posted about three years ago, but I think it deserves a re-run. I had just gotten my new camera and hadn’t mastered all the settings (not that I’ve done so by now) and it needed a tad of adjustment, but hardly any. Those are the Olympic Mountains in the distance.

The local Garden Club has a flower show every three months and recently had this beauty on display. My roses are almost done for the season, but this one is still so beautiful.

I’m not much of a morning person, so when I do get out early in the morning, I love to see the shadows that can happen.
