Another sunny day in the Pacific Northwest! This delightful spot is near our house. The air carries the music of summer birds and occasional voices and laughter of people walking along the path.

This coffee/tea house is near the end of our favorite trail walk. We almost always stop for chai before heading home. There are always fun painting possibilities here. This person must have been reading a good book because she never took her eyes off the pages. Somehow her right hand always knew just where the dish and mug were. Amazing. The color in painting is much richer than it appears here.
