Lighthouses are a big theme in this beachy town. Our city hall sign bears one and there are many of these handcrafted stone ones around town as well.
Boats that are no longer seaworthy end up in yards, or on display:
Flotsam and jetsam also end up as yard objects, as in the anchor and the driftwood that my mom has placed in her yard:
or the glass ball in my neighbor's:
During the summer, crab pots are stored in stacks near the shipyard:
and signs for fresh tuna are placed in front yards:
Wood carvings reflect the beach as well....razor clams are BIG here:
This wooden fisherman is missing his lantern - it looks like he's a schoolboy raising his hand to use the restroom!
Not all yard objects that I captured are nautical....I love this old car planter:
and the old fashioned water pump shown here:
I hope you've enjoyed viewing some of the typical yard objects you might see in coastal Washington!

I enjoyed looking at your photos. I especially loved the old car and the water pump. Very nice.
love the car! great shots!
Ohhh I love that wooden fisherman, even without his lantern.
And I've never seen crabpots!
Hey, good shots: I think you captured your community really well! I like the useless boats decorating spaces. And I love to see crab pots; we have them here, too, in smaller quantities.
Very, very nice! I think the old guy by the wall is my uncle!
isn't it great - the idea of recycling by using old boats and other 'Flotsam and jetsam' to decorate our towns. I loved your photos.
Awesoome! I LOVE the fisherman/school boy. I laughed out loud. Very funny!
Ummm..is this the guy Gordon is talking about? Ha ha!
Welcome to the shoot out. It is a lot of fun - you will enjoy it - very supportive community.
nice!
Really great sampling... I enjoyed!
I'm not sure if the last message took or not?? But oh how I love all of these!
