Today's post is dedicated to the beautiful place we call home. The SBA had an early appointment in town . When he came home he said this is the day to take our mountain photos. We have had a sunny spell but the mountains always seem to have a few too many clouds. This morning they were beautiful. While we got a week of rain, the mountains got their first covering of snow.What you see in these pictures, I can see on my way to a grocery store. We feel lucky and so blessed to live in this beautiful place.
The Olympic Mountains!
The incredible thing about this place is that you have the sea as well as the mountains. These gulls were busy eating dead salmon that had made their trip up stream from the sound.
The heron is hungry too.
An inlet of Puget Sound
All these were taken within 15 minutes of our house. Have a great week!
Great pics and so lucky to have such a lovely view close by!
ReplyDeleteyou live in one of my most favorite places on earth. you are indeed so lucky to live in such a wonderful place. i have snow envy!
ReplyDeleteYou are one lucky person! I am a *bit* jealous! Except for the mountains (I like little mountains)but I do have to admit, even for mountains that view is stunning!
ReplyDeleteYour natural juxtaposition of ocean and mountain is the most uniquely remarkable thing about your part of the world. It is truly glorious!
ReplyDeleteThe mountains are beautiful. I bet they are even more beautiful in person.
ReplyDeleteWow, Barb, those mountains are just beautiful! What gorgeous scenery..quite different from here in flat corn country Ohio.

Warm greetings from Germany
You live in such a beautiful place. I always love seeing your pics!
ReplyDeleteGood gracious! You are fortunate to live in such a beautiful place. I would love to live by the sea.
ReplyDeleteAs usual your blog post is a feast for the eyes! How wonderful to be so close to both the mountains and the ocean! Looks like such a beautiful place to callhome.
ReplyDeleteWonderful photos--you do certainly live in a beautiful part of our country!
ReplyDeleteYou and I are lucky to call the same area home. Our day today was not as pristine as yours, but I was able to catch glimpses of both the Cascades and the Olympics in their glory, albeit brief ones. The snow looks to be thickening where we just traveled through the Cascades so I am wondering how much snow we might be seeing at ground level this year!
ReplyDeleteOh, be still my heart. SOOOOOOOOOOO pretty! Like Ellen said, a feast for the eyes. Thanks for sharing!
