George's brother Dick spent a week with us, enjoying the waters of Washington state. We went as far as the ocean, then over to eastern Washington to find good canoeing...and the best weather.
We paddled along the shore of the Columbia in shallow water.
Marsh terns, enjoying the sun. They skim insects off the surface of the water and dive for fish.
I packed a snack: Rasam soup; cauliflower with honey-mustard dressing; Greek yogurt; a bagel with peanut butter and walnuts; a nectarine; and hot green tea. 
This little spot was an unexpected surprise in the desert.
