Fort Worden State Park

The pictures shown in yesterday’s post were taken at Fort Worden State Park located near Port Townsend.

It is a wonderful historic place to visit.

Fort Worden was an active US Army base from 1902 to 1953.  It was named in honor of U.S. Naval Rear Admiral John Lorimer Worden.

Lucky me.  I’ve caught a head cold.  I am too tired to show more.  I do have some photos from the museum at the Commanding Officer’s home.  I’ll try to post those soon.

Beach Walk – Fort Worden State Park

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient.

One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.

Owen Beach

While there is enough at Owen Beach to explore, and keep one happy all day, we chose to take an early promenade along the beach.

It was calm, and very pleasant; a great morning!

This little fella was also taking his morning walk.  I love his coloring!  I moved him off to the side so that he wouldn’t be trampled by an unobservant walker.

It was fun to see this plant growing from an old piling out in the water.

Aren’t jellyfish one of the most fascinating of God’s creations?  Yes, this one is alive and well.
