Yesterday's trip to Port Townsend




A few pictures from yesterday's trip over to Port Townsend to photograph whatever happened to catch my eye.

This gull was incredibly happy about taking a ferry ride! Well, who wouldn't be? Who doesn't love a harbor cruise?

A bright blue boat was quite dark in the shade, but the sun hitting the brass propeller was perfectly placed to make it show up beautifully. Two minutes later and part of the propeller was in shadow.

The next shot shows the sunny side of the boat, zeroing in on the peeling paint.

And then a brief respite at Nifty Fifties Diner on the main street. Alas, the juke box on the table wasn't working...

A good day, walked a lot, saw a lot, and then back home to collapse. Wonder if this gull goes cruising every day?!

It came out of the swamp . . .

More "boatyard art," this time from a vessel that had paint peeling off of it as well as some partially finished sanding. The trick to finding things like this is to look for an "eye." Once you have an eye, you just might find you have a strange creature. All you have to do is look...

Found in a boatyard . . .

Ring-eyed Hullsider. Scientific name: Oculocirculus maritimus. Found on a boat being refinished at a boatyard today. Very rare. Obviously male.
