Tomorrow I'm off to Art Fest in Port Townsend. I came up to Washington 10 days early as my husband was up here teaching a spring break course at Western Washington University....
The sun would poke it's head out occasionally and that's when I would snap my photos! Here's a scene looking down from Western Washington University down onto the harbor. The second largest harbor in the NW.
I then proceeded to walk down to the harbor and took a shot looking back towards campus
up on the hill.

A "fence" made out of colorful bike parts....
and then I spied a cool bike mural....
A splash of bright color...the place was closed and this plant was not chained down and I was in an alley...must be a good town.
A wooden duck along the road....
some live birds on the rocks...

and walking in the water.
Some mosaic art on a building and ...
some crochet work on a tree!
My husband bouldering on some pretty interesting rock on his day off...

tunnels....
and holes.
In 10 days I walked a total of 32 hours. I didn't have a pedometer so I calculated 2.5 miles per hour which comes out to 80 miles- no wonder I have holes in my socks! yes, I did change socks. I was out here on a business trip with my husband. They put us up in a cheap motel out by the mall. No place to sit outdoors at all! Our neighbors were up partying all night, banging doors and smoking but I really can't complain as I got a free vacation and probably burned a hell of a lot of calories walking all over town.
But then tonight I got a taste of the good life...my husband had to go back and one of his co-workers across town offered to let me stay in the B&B where she was staying...
in a quiet little neighborhood with quite the view! Fresh fruit and yogurt in the fridge, chickens in the yard and an actual place to sit outside and away from the noise of the freeway.
I had a nice relaxing evening to sit and sketch and paint....and to watch the sun go down over the town...
good night!
