I thought this was Mason Lake, near Shelton WA, but on double checking the map, it's an inlet from Puget Sound. It was a beautifully clear day today, although a tiny bit overcast, but no wind. The reflections on the water were gorgeous.
Usually the view from my office is of the street in front of the house - and nothing much happens out there. The mailman, the kids coming home from school, cars coming into the cul-de-sac and just turning around (what are they looking for - houses for sale? houses to break into? they're lost?) but not much else. There's the ginger cat who's developed a limp recently. The occasional raccoon and lots of crows and one time there was a male and female mallard duck waddling up the road, which is slightly odd, as we don't have a pond nearby. That's about it.
Today, my office was the beautiful Pacific Northwest. I had to drive down to Shelton to drop something off at a house and thoroughly enjoyed the views out of the car window. Clear water, trees turning their autumnal colours, mountains, deer - the only thing that would have been better is if there was snow on the Olympic Mountains. Mother Nature, if you're listening, don't worry ... I don't want to see snow too soon! This liquid rain we're getting this afternoon is as far as I'd like to go for now!
Tomorrow, it's back to the computer.
