The calm waters of Puget Sound ripple with subtle colors as the blazing sunset lights the quaint waterfront of Boston Harbor on the shores of the Salish Sea. Swifts dart across the deep evening sky, and paddlers too come home to roost at the marina. Flying over this idyllic aquatic scenery I could see down Budd Inlet to the distant white dome of the Washington State Capitol Building in Olympia, as well as west to the far larger dome of mighty Mt. Rainier, still clothed even in summer in a winter coat of white, now lit by amber alpenglow.
