Adventures in Wonderland

Here's the photo version of my life for the past two weeks. This is the recreating time, not the work time, although sometimes it's a little tough to tell the two apart. Below is Silva Lake, at the south end of the road. There's still a ton of snow up there, as you can see.
Totem Bight State Park is north of town and is just a cool spot. Made way cooler by the peace sign.
Little hobbit doors just invite monkeying around.
The main attraction of Totem Bight is the series of totem poles (go figure). The above picture is the entrance to a pole house with a huge, ornately carved front. Below is just one of many poles around the cove.
When I hiked up Deer Mountain, a peak that looms above town, I started in the clouds and just kept climbing until I got above them. There's ocean below there somewhere.
Along for the ride was Bubba, my friend Carl's dog. He was not excited about getting his photo taken.
This afternoon I christened my friend Leah's boat with an awesome paddle. The clouds broke just as we were putting the boats in the water, and we were treated to a rare window of sunshine and glassy flat water.
I love taking pictures of my boat.
On our way back the wind kicked up something fierce. Still, with the sun and the ocean and boat, how could I not smile?
This is a pretty amazing corner of the world to play in. The weather has been phenomenal to boot. I wake up every day with a smile on my face and so thankful to be here. Life is indeed good.
