boats

When you live in the Pacific Northwest, you want to stay around for the duration of summer. Plan your travels for the rest of the year, but make sure you are here for the gorgeous months. During July-August, the sky breaks open and the snow capped mountains appear in the distance. You can swim in open water and then take a hot shower overlooking Lake Washington with glimpses of Mount Rainier in the distance.
The first two weekends of summer, we went camping at Deception Pass State Park.  It felt like paradise with a camping spot overseeing the bay.  One day, we rented Kayaks and I was left to see everyone pull away from the land, I was inspired by the vibrant colors of the boats and felt inclined to depict them on my next set of five postcards.
