Nice shots tevake!
I love the clear water shot that makes the canoe appear to be suspended in mid air.

Lake Wenatchee, early 1976
My older brother paddling his 17' fiberglass Hawthorn

He's the guy that got me hiking and adventuring, I'm forever grateful!!!







Canoe camped over to the far side of the lake, I remember waking up and having frost on the inside of the tent, good times!

We've been getting rain every day - not all day long - usually around this time in the afternoon maybe for about an hour. Yesterday it was a severe cell that blew through and with it some lightning. I heard a strike very close by and lo and behold it hit my neighbor's house. It hit the top deck of an addition they are having constructed. Not a great pic but the lightning hit that top 4 pole section in the photo. The right side post was split in two and a piece fell down on the ground. I spoke to the contractor this morning and he said the whole thing has to be rebuilt but the problem is they already constructed more stuff after they did the "tower" so now it will be very difficult if not impossible to get in there with the equipment they need.

This is the neighbor who had an LED spotlight installed that blasted my property, if you recall I started a thread about it. You can actually see the light in the pic. It's motion activated so not lit up when I took the pic. Sucker is blindingly bright!

So was this karma?

Put a new mailbox up this morning.

Wouldn't normally post such a mundane event - but surprised myself by how nice it turned out...lol.

Purchased from HD as a plain black plastic box. Wanted plastic because of the proximity to the ocean and rust issues.

Spray painted it with Rust-oleum 2X:


Then added the numbers and a couple Hibiscus stickers I had in my stash.

In the 22 years I have lived here...this is the first time I've had my house numbers on anything on the property.
