Seattle & the Olympic Peninsula

On By jonathankeeton

My lovely and talented wife, Melinda Tidwell, recently traveled to Seattle to work with the great Carla Sonheim (https://www.carlasonheim.com/) to film a series of online collage/composition workshops. I took the opportunity to wander around up there and here are some photographs from those rambles.

Next morning I headed out to the southern entrance to Olympic National Park at Staircase on the Skokomish River.

This is a wildly beautiful place, and of course I didn’t encounter a soul.
