We enjoyed a marvelously sunny weekend which commenced with a trip with some friends to Sequim’s Lavender Festival. Unfortunately, from a photographic perspective, it was a bit too sunny with too many people and I had a hard time finding pictures I wanted. The photo above reminds me a bit of some scotch broom and a shed I photographed last summer.

If you do go to the festival, skip the farms near the highway because they’re really crowded. Our family favorite farm is Jardin du Soleil which we’ve been to before.

Some time had passed since our last visit to Dungeness Spit so with good weather predicted we trekked out to “where people can spit?”.

The Spit is located in Sequim, which has the distinction of being extremely dry (relatively speaking) year-round owing to its location within the Olympic Mountains’ rain shadow. Among Sequim’s other attractions are numerous lavender farms benefiting from the dry, sunny environment. And, we were soon to learn, some pretty cool marine wildlife.
