The Lodge
Artists need an asthetically-pleasing place to work, and we think we have one. The Lodge is an all-natural red-cedar home and studio. Since we often frequent old National Park lodges, we appreciate the honestly of this place.
The squirrels, on the other hand, have other ideas. They are determined to join us inside.

Our Studio
We live near to the mouth of the Chimacum Creek Estuary on Port Townsend Bay - so we called our business, Estuary Press. This photo shows a rare snow in December 2000 at the same location very close to the house. It doesn't snow often. When it does, it's a pause to celebrate.

This is the same location as the photo on the left, only it was taken at high tide, with the freshwater creek coming in just around the bend upstream. Port Townsend Bay is downstream (behind the camera). Both chum and coho salmon spawn here in pretty good numbers,(1000 chum salmon in 2009) thanks to lots of community help.

Hilton Avenue. Sounds high-class, but it's actually a three-block long dirt lane. We're at the end of it.
|
High above Grand Lake in the Olympic Mountains. This spot is only 25 miles as the crow flies from our studio.

Artist in the studio. Small and warm, and if bigger projects arrive, there's a huge studio in town we move to.

Nancy's garden gate, the pathway to pleasure.

She always complains that Nature is really in charge here - (yes that's true) and that the gardener is just her tool.

Neighborhood watering hole. Lots of wildlife frequent this spot year round. Open water is rare around here.
