Dear Sequim Vacation blog visitors,
After we made all these promises about starting a Sequim photo series , we must admit that we are running behind schedule. Well, economic situation has become top talking topic in Sequim as everywhere else. In addition, October has blessed all of the residents on the Olympic Peninsula with an amazing Indian summer. Who wants to sit at the computer and download Sequim vacation photos when the sun over the Olympic Mountains is sparkling and invites to hiking and biking the great outdoors?
Today, the skies were gray for the first time in 1 1/2 weeks and we even had some sprinkles. I went picking some more raspberries. Yes, believe it or not. It's a late kind. I even pick my raspberry bushes at the house when I walk to the mail box. The deer don't seem to eat the fruits on their nightly walks in the area but they like any new green sprouts coming up somewhere, including raspberry sprouts. Keoki's invention of 'hiding' the bushes behind a number of fishing lines don't seem to scare the deer too much.
Speaking of Indian summer. Sunday was a great time to enjoy the Olympic National Park and sharing the beauty of the Park with our good friends from Germany. One of our favorite spots, as said in the past, is an outing to magnificent Crescent Lake. How surprised were we that the Crescent Lake Lodge was already locked up for winter season and the parking area was totally empty. Well, we still parked there by the Lodge. I guess official parking is somewhere else, as we met quite a number of hikers on our walk to Marymere Waterfalls. First time that we had not taken a lunch picnic and had counted on having a delicious lunch at the Lake Crescent Lodge.

After we included a few of Ron's photos on the Sequim Dungeness post, we finally pick up our joint photo project with our guests Ron and Mary Nell.
Here is the Part 1 of our Sequim Vacation photos - Lake Crescent photos. Enjoy the views of this beautiful lake a short drive from Port Angeles.

Hi Heidi and Keoki! We had a wonderful stay - wish we could have stayed longer as it sounds like the weather remained phenomenal. It is great to see you featuring some of mom and dad's pictures.

Hello Chris and Anna,
Greetings to Texas from Sequim. Thanks for your nice comment. It was our pleasure to have you as our vacation rental guests.
Yes, we are very grateful that your parents gave us access to their wonderful Sequim photos to share with our blog visitors who are planning a Sequim vacation.
And yes again, we had an amazing stretch of Indian summer. Alas, the magic spell seems to be broken today. Sequim weather showed up gray and rainy but the good part with the weather in Sequim is...it can change very fast. Clouds move on and the sun peeks through!
Stay tuned for Marymere waterfall photos! Thanks for staying in touch with our Sequim Vacation blog...Heidi & Keoki
Heidi and Keoki,
The photos we took on the Olympic Peninsula only show part of the beauty that abounds there. I urge everyone to visit this beautiful area of our country and see it up close and personal.
Our visit to Sequim and the Olympics were made even more enjoyable by the friendliness of our hosts at the Bell View Vacation Rental. You two are very special and we look forward to staying with you again....the sooner the better!
Best wishes,
Ron and Mary Nell
We fell in love with Sequim and the Olympic Peninsula at first sight on our first Sequim vacation. So we totally agree with what you say about Sequim and the area.
Thanks for your very kind words about your stay with us at our Sequim Vacation Rental. Your appreciation is our motivation to making our guests feel at home and accommodate all their needs.
There is now a new table lamp available for our guests which makes working on their laptop computers more comfortable.
Looking forward to seeing you two again next year. Stay happy and healthy till then. Heidi & Keoki
