Thinking Out Loud…<\/h3>\n

“Camping” for three weeks touring around the Olympic Peninsula. \u00a0Aaah, what a treat–relaxing, relaxing, relaxing.<\/p>\n

When we left home, there was still snow on the ground, and when we returned a week ago it was full on Spring. \u00a0Amazing. \u00a0We had freezing weather, wind and rain, bright sunshine at 30 degree temps, and two days of a heat wave that broke local records for the highest temperatures ever recorded for Western Washington in March.<\/p>\n

Our goal was to revisit some of our favorite places from\u00a0Fort Flagler State Park to Cape Disappointment and points in between. \u00a0We aimed to include a bunch of simple cafes out in the wilds, take lots of pictures, and see the wide open spaces of Washington off season–rain or shine. \u00a0For me, it was a good time to think, to ponder next steps, and let my mind wander just as we were, letting each day unfold in its own time.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dawn, Fort Worden, WA. \u00a0Yes, we really did get up at dawn–once. \u00a0It was worth it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This place has pie….and darn good burgers. \u00a0Town of Joyce, WA. \u00a0We managed quite a few cafes…good ones. \u00a0 Over the three weeks, we indulged in pie, razor clams, hot cakes, \u00a0home made hash, and burgers….oh, yeah, and beignet. \u00a0Oh man….<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We love little towns. \u00a0This place is the oldest (1911) continually operating General Store in the state of Washington. \u00a0Inside is a step back into history, and…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Candy–the most amazing candy collection I have seen since childhood! \u00a0It was mythic. \u00a0They also had a store cat, but I didn’t manage a picture of him. Darn… I even went back, but he was out.<\/p>\n

I stored up a lot of great views…That’s when I know I am not really a photographer. \u00a0I get lost in looking. \u00a0I listen to how it feels to be seeing what I am seeing. \u00a0So I didn’t get pictures of the river otters at Cape Disappointment, or the vultures riding the thermals above Salt Creek. \u00a0But I watched and soaked it up. \u00a0And that felt really good.<\/p>\n

I found myself wondering how I might translate what I saw into stitches. \u00a0Each time this happened, it was a brief fleeting moment, but it was there. \u00a0And then we came to a place that I never get tired of trying to capture with my camera.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Baker Bay at Cape Disappointment, WA. \u00a0The Terminus of the Lewis and Clark Trail.<\/p>\n

But more on that next time…<\/p>\n
