After two days of driving north (mostly on I-5) with Zuma, I am finally here at Whidbey Island. As always, it is blessedly peaceful and beautiful here. The little studio house is simple and comfortable - everything we need is here, but not much extra. The lake outside is a constantly changing source of natural beauty. It shimmers and ripples in the changing light of the day, and there are so many birds everywhere that it is a continuous feast for the eyes. Zuma and I have already been to the beach, to her great delight, and will go again today for the minus tide, the best time to be there when the beaches are vast and empty and full of enticing tide pools. Yes, this is heaven! Even the alarming and depressing world headlines seem to be happening a million miles away. At least I can cling to that illusion for a few days, even though I know there is no truth to it - sigh.

The view outside your window is so beautiful, calm, and serene. Enjoy your days here. The world news slips away sometimes when we look out such a window.
Lovely images. I echo Robin Andrea. Very peaceful
looks like a lovely spot you are in sigrid. love the relaxed comfort and simplicity of the dwelling.
i assume 'minus tide' is what we refer to as low tide...........what do you call full tide?
Absolute heaven. I would love to be there myself. My sould kinda needs re-charging these days.
heaven, indeed. looks wonderful and peaceful. i love the idea of 'just enough' and not much more. Probably not all the time, but certainly for a break - a vacation - from the land of plenty.
