Summer Odyssey 2012 - Inhale. Exhale.

We have stayed at my brother's place in Tacoma several times over the years, but I'd never explored the area on foot before.  This time I discovered amazing running routes just down the hill at Point Defiance State Park.  From their house to the water's edge was 2.5 miles, which made a perfect loop.  Everyday when I stepped outside to run I would be drawn to the water...who wouldn't be?  The Pacific Northwest is a place of stunning views and gorgeous scenery; I swear if we ever get to live there again I won't take it for granted.  A few shots I took on my phone throughout the week:

Fog on the water, fishermen still out, peaceful water.  Sigh.
