After a day off-island with friends, I had too many miles and too few minutes between me and the 8:00 pm ferry to Vashon. As fate, traffic, and a few wrong turns would have it, I missed the boat.
Setting my parking brake and expectations, I was all too aware that the next ferry was an hour and a half out. After a few minutes of sitting on the hood of my truck before a sky on fire and a sea slipping into sleep, I came to realize the obvious: I hadn’t missed the boat at all.

Thank you Tom. You remind this old pessimist broad she needs to enjoy the view and find some peace more often.
That’s so awesome! You have A LOT of silver linings still to come.
Oh My Goodness!
What a view! It is just breath taking.
Hi Tom, I don’t know you, but I came across your blog while looking for advice on planting quince trees in the Seattle area. I ended up reading all your posts, they were fun! 🙂 You seem like a neat guy. Happy gardening!
What a beautiful picture!!
Really, why are we all in such a hurry? What a beautiful sunset. I never see anything like that living in the middle of St. Paul. Were Boz and Gracie o.k. with you running a little late?
anon-thanks for the kind words
And Eileen, Boz and Gracie let me have it when I got home, but that only lasted about oooooh, 10 seconds. Plus truth be told, I think that had lost track of time playing poker.
You are so right, Tom!
Beautiful pictures!! Lovely!
Tom- you have such an eye for taking pictures but these are REALLY special. I’ve found my new screen saver!
You certainly didn’t miss the boat- you caught a beautiful show.
That one brought a tear to my eye.
Thanks for being you.
Amazing picture . it depicts the beauty of the nature
