The marina and reflections in the water. Azaleas and rhododendrons in bloom. Lilacs too.

The clouds came in dark and brooding, kicked up the winds and it managed to throw a few sprinkles our way. That’s all from such a menacing cloud. 

 

The Valley today.

Swans in many pastures too. 

Only got video though. Honk honk. 
 

Olympia and home

                                                     ST Johns Wort. Many medicinal uses,
                                                        growing everywhere in Olympia

Boats.....because you can't swim everywhere!

Boats and more boats.

Sailing Away.....

The Marina

I was aboard the walk on ferry to Hat Island to check out some homes but the ferry was broken down. 

I went onto the sunny deck and made a pillow from my sweater and it felt good to encounter an old friend, Sol, shining down on me, I slipped quickly into a  pleasant nap. 

I'm thinking this should become a daily routine. If only the ferry would break down more often, and ole Sol would show up more often. It was blue skies yesterday. 

The marine air and quiet peacefulness of Marina life complemented  the warmth of the sun and I'm not sure how long I slept. 

Soon I was awakened to catch a boat ride to the isle and spent the time there until dusk looking at island homes. 

Sunset appeared as the ferry, finally functioning for the ride back over crossed the water way back to the Marina, and home on the other side. 

Today I started sailing again..

Lessons anyway.

Been years since I had lessons. I was a kid.

So today I had two lessons and I'm thinking I'll be on the water everyday for the rest of my life!!

Beautiful Lake Chelan
