Salt water, boat, houses, mountains & trees |
I'm back in Washington state and up by the Hood Canal at my daughter's for a few days. I forget how beautiful it is up here, especially when the sun is shining.

This the cliff between the house and Hwy 106 |
Water, mountains & trees.
We camped farther up the canal over the fourth of July this year, it was nice. The salt water was warmer than the creek.

Along other parts of the waterway there are fruit trees that were planted by the settlers way back when. There are fish, crabs, blackberries & shrimp too!

With a boat you have access to a lot of the resources |
People who live here or just visit have not only water orientated hobbies but regular passions too.

Life on salt water has always seems 'different' to me, well different from fresh water but I've spent a huge part of my life around the salt water. I'd missed it.

I took a walk along Hwy 106 this morning and was reminded of what I missed. It's like I found something I didn't even realize I'd lost!
In my opinion, the salt water up at Washington State was a lot nicer to be around than the hot saltwater along the Texas coast I lived with most of my life.
