October bicycle trip

view from motel balcony while standing


At the end of October, we took an overnight bicycle trip.  Originally, we were going to camp but changed our minds in the morning and booked a motel room in Port Townsend.  The motel is old but has an ocean view.  The funny thing is that you can only see the view from the balcony if you stand.  If you sit in the provided chairs, the thick hand rail blocks your view completely.  No matter the oddities, we had a good trip, good food, good views and good fun!

Both days had beautiful sunny, Autumn weather.  We took the 30 mile scenic route on our way to the motel.  On the way back, we stayed on the highway for the shorter 25 miles as we were worried we'd get caught in the dark.  Luckily, there wasn't much traffic.  I think everyone was home watching the Seattle Seahawks play.


Don't you just love Autumn!  I had to stop and catch a photo of me with all the maple trees and fallen leaves.  We were on a side road with little traffic.

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Usually summer means several bicycle-camping trips, but with COVID19 still around, we are staying home. In the meantime, I have been pretty productive with my 100 Self Portraits project.

Waiting, A Tunic and The Japan Post Office

I love shopping at Etsy. I usually buy handmade soap and lotion, but recently I bought a handmade tunic from India. It arrived on April 7, but I was taking a nap so I didn't hear the doorbell. I am not sure how it works in other countries, but in Japan, the postal worker leaves a card with details about your package and a telephone number to call for re-delivery. I called the 24 hour automated hotline and rescheduled the delivery for April 9th, between 12:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. This week's shadow shot is of the envelope and tag that the post office added for the redelivery. The red kanji-chinese characters say "afternoon." By the way, I am in love with the tunic ! The cotton material and embroidered design are beautiful. Shadow Shot Sunday is hosted by Hey Harriet .
