Pattison Lake, Olympia Washington, morning view :meditative moment:

A friend offered her lakeside getaway to me to rest my weary traveller’s head.
In the morning, I woke to a little note beside the coffeemaker, indicating that it was ready-to-go at the push of a button and that it would be best enjoyed upstairs and outside.

I did as instructed. I made my coffee, climbed the spiral staircase to the main floor, pulled back the curtains, slid the glass doors open and stepped outside.

Here is the view I had that pyjama-pants morning in a most beautiful part of the world.
