I love Bellingham

Picture by Edmund Lowe
This morning the ladies and I walked twice around Lake Padden, and I neglected to take any pictures. I went on Facebook to the "I Love Bellingham" page to find something that would show the beautiful place I live. This picture of the ferry between the mainland and Lummi Island, with Mt. Baker in the background, shows what a beautiful place Bellingham is.

Granted, it rains a lot, and the days are very short in the winter months, but the beauty is unparalleled. I am grateful that I live here, and that I can go outdoors in all weather, with the appropriate gear, and enjoy myself. Right now I am happily looking out the front window while sitting with my trusty laptop and writing this post. I am feeling lots of gratitude right now, perfect for this long Thanksgiving weekend.
:-)

    Life is good! However, you make life good for yourself. You have to work at it and you do.

    And I'm thankful that you share your beautiful location through photos with us! I still 'virtually' hike with you. When I enlarge your photos, it feels like I'm right there.

    Stunning picture. You and Bellingham are a perfect fit especially since all weather gear is available. You can laugh in the rain.

    I've heard only good things about Bellingham, and so I'm sorry I wasn't able to get up there to take a look around when I was in Seattle in July. And of course you're there, so it must be cool!

    Dear DJan, that view of Bellingham is lovely. As I glance out the window, I see the 6 inches of snow we had yesterday. First we had a sleet storm, then a blizzard blew in with high winds, blowing snow, and deep chill. Is is quite lovely, but oh, I feel sorry for those who have to drive to work and be out in this. Peace.
