you had a great time on the banks of that beautiful lake .. as far as i'm concerned you didnt miss out at all, this scene is stunning .. i love how the clouds and the water enclose that gorgeous lighted area ... the boat on the shore in the dark is great ... is it even a boat ?? .. i'm thinking that my monitor is set too dark .. i tilted it and it became clear that the boat was a log !!... it still looks good tho .. :)

Auuuuuugh. . .Jennifer!!! That is GORGEOUS!!! Autumn is breathtaking there! One of my best friends grew up in Longview and still has family that lives there. We visited it a couple of years ago, and fell in love with Washington's stunning beauty!

You are BLESSED. . .and we are blessed to get to see your photography from there :)

I'm not sure, I'm guessing maybe Smelt?? Do smelt jump out of the water like this?? I'm guessing not grunion though (I'm originally from San Diego and am quite familiar with grunion runs... Good times!) :) They weren't coming up on shore, just hopping out of the water. Pretty funny to watch.
