2007.06.07 - North Bend is the place to be!
< Back to Currently
                 
 
No-orth Bend is the place to be
Quiet living is the life for me
Land spreading out,
so far and wide
Keep Mercer Island,
just give me that countryside.

OK, so the folks at Green Acres aren't impressed... :-)  But I really do love it here in North Bend!  Today, I was treated to my first "Mostly Foggy" day, and I really enjoyed it!  What a great place to live!

 
Foggy Trees... there's just something about watching fog roll through the trees on a hill side that keeps my attention!

I really like how the trees seem to melt away in the fog, blending into the background... the camera doesn't do it justice, but hopefully, you get the idea.

The filtered Sunlight warms these trees just enough so that the moisture rises out of them in a quiet tide of wispy water.

This has the same effect on me as watching the waves come and go on a rocky shoreline... its so peaceful and serene, I could watch it all day!
 

 
The underbellies of the clouds scrape along the top of Mt Si, above North Bend.  Smaller clouds drift in and out of the trees on its slopes in a quiet dance.
Here's another "trees in the fog" scene. 

Except for the rare car, the only noise you hear are the birds singing happily away...

What a nice day!
 

The large outcrop at the top of Rattlesnake Ridge, which on a clear day is a prominent part of the view out of our front window, is only a faint outline in the foggy lower edges of the clouds...

Its so peaceful!
