An Olympic Peninsula Overview	The immediate neighborhood	But first, the ferry to Bainbridge Island	Might as well take a few pictures while we wait.
The sky looked mighty interesting.	And I had a polarizing filter on my lens.	_DSC8531.jpg	At last, Bainbridge Island is in view.
Looking back at Seattle from the harbor on Bainbridge Island	The Hood Canal, stopped again.	At least it's cool and pretty here. And everyone is pretty mellow about things.	Some homes along the bank of the Hood Canal
Moving again. This is the view in the other direction.	Kala Point at Port Townsend. Home at last.	The bridge to Marrowstone Island, from Kala Point.	I eased into things.
The Kala Point clubhouse.	What's this? It looks like a navy ship.	We hit the streets of Port Townsend the next day.	It's a Victorian era town.
_DSC8631.jpg	I don't know what this is.	This is sort of an overview, from a pier.	This is the Ajax cafe, at nearby Port Hadlock. Did I mention the vintage car show?
These are our friends who came up from Bainbridge Island for dinner. The hat thing is a long story.	We went off to Hurricane Ridge in Olympic National Park.	These little guys were all over the place.	I think they were twins.
This is with mommy. They really aren't afraid of people at all.	This is the visitor center at the top of Hurricane Ridge	And a snow capped mountain.	Can't get away from them.
They graze.	We yakked a bit. I think he hated my headgear.	The folks are a little whimsical in the great northwest.	But I really liked the sky.
This is a paper mill outside of Port Townsend.	Our little part of Puget Sound. That's Whidby Island just to the right of us.	The ferry to Whidby Island.	There's just nothing more relaxing than ferry travel across the sound.
Coupeville. First stop on Whidby Island.	Chow time in Coupeville.	Coupeville is an old town, with an old wharf, on an awesome bay on Whidby Island	This is that big bay Coupeville is on.
with blue herons wading in the surf	_DSC8858.jpg	Downtown Coupeville. Also Victorian. Way more charming than this picture.	A charming law firm.
The Bridge at Deception Pass, Whidby Island.	Then Nan went out on the bridge.	and took awesome pictures so I could see what I was missing.	_DSC8893.jpg
Safe, at any rate.	Back at Port Townsend	at Fort Warden State Park, where "An Officer and a Gentleman" was filmed	Marrowstone Island
Mystery Bay on Marrowstone Island	another attempt at art	old fortifications at Fort Flagler	We went whale watching in this little guy.
First, a run though Deception Pass	Here it is from the other side	Thar she blows	40 feet, as big as our boat
Say bye bye	_DSC9097.jpg	Everyone loves these shots	_DSC9121.jpg
But they're not that hard to get	_DSC9158.jpg	This takes place relatively slowly	_DSC9160.jpg
The trick is being there where and when it happens	_DSC9171.jpg	This little island is full of seals	The big guys are elephant seals
And then we headed for the Olympic Game farm	They stock critters for Disney films	They come right up to the car	No kidding
He probably has an agent	_DSC9313.jpg	This is the Dungeness Crab spit, a five mile sand bar with a lighthouse at the end	Don't get the idea that Dungeness is a big city.
on the way to lunch in Everrett	at Alligator Soul, southern cooking, Everrett, Washington.	Great Southern cooking!	courtesy of Chef Ryan, a budding superstar
and his great southern hospitality	This is the lighthouse at Mukilteo	with a snow capped mountain in the distance.	Where you catch the ferry back to Whidby, then another to Port Townsend.
