Port Orchard Farmers Market

 

It's Saturday, it must be the Farmers Market, but in my opinion it is more like Arts and Craft than selling fruits and vegetables.

Ferry Life

 

Doing a bit of research will save us some money, as senior citizens we have advantage when it some to tickets - HALF PRICE. So, we apply ORCA cards, it does not cost us a thing, other than replacement card when it got lost then it would be $3.00

An invitation for a picnic and a chance to photograph "Red Carpet" (Crimson Clover) excite me to go and capture the scenery before the field is plowed again.
