There are breathtaking views from many points at Fort Worden State Park, here in Port Townsend. There are wooded trails galore for hikers, and a few paved pathways for those of us who like a more comfortable walk. This is the view from the upper bunker loop, located at the back of the park. It’s a 1/2 hour or so walk, up through the madrona trees on a nice paved service road.

Morning at Blue Gull Inn B&B

Folks in the Uptown District of Port Townsend have a very harmonious relationship with the wild life here. Some might not enjoy wild deer grazing in their back yards, but we don’t mind (too much!) When the afternoons are warm and lazy, they often bed down in our back yard for a snooze…

Meet “BMac’s Sloe Jin-Jin Fizzie”, or “Jin” as we call her. She enjoys camping trips, and here she found a stump to sit on at Deception Pass State Park. She’s a wild thing at 6 months old, and belongs to our daughter. For now, this is as close as I get to a grandchild!

I don’t know what you see when step out your kitchen door, but this is often what we get to see, up close and personal!
We have lots of Bald Eagles in our area, and in the winter they love to perch in the cottonwood tree by the Inn. Isn’t he great?
