Immersed in the World
Ocassionally we find hidden coves along the Washington coast and my mind always drifts toward, “If only we could stay for a spell…”
Usually I envision myself perched on a rock, drawing or painting my surroundings, something I never take time for. At Dead Man’s Cove, I imagined myself taking up poetry writing. Such an ominous name begged for words.
There’d be so much time, no distractions…
Then hunger called, and the kids remembered we had a yurt waiting for us and we would build a fire.
Goodbye, friend.
Check out Photo Friday for more travel with kids photos!

Great photos, love your use of light and shadows.
Anna, thank you! I think we just happened to be there at the right time.
Paradise!! My kids will enjoy building their own fort for hours on end.
Amy, mine too! I love it.
you stayed in a yurt! What did you think? Dogs were allowed?
Melinda, Loved it! Pure luxury compared to sleeping on the ground. No dogs, Hoshi stayed home.
Wow! What an amazing place!
Cathy, It’s only 3 hours away…
This all looks so familiar given it’s in my “backyard.” Great photos!
Wanderluster, aren’t we lucky to have this in our backyard?
I love this post!!
I too adore exploring the Washington coast. I’ve never been to this cove though. 
Krista, I’ve enjoyed your photos of the coast too!
Beautiful pics. And wonderful writing. Amazing how these old names stick, though the dead man himself is long forgotten…
Thanks Mummy_t. This cove is on the same cape where Lewis & Clark first saw the Pacic Ocean, so plenty of info on that, nothing on the dead man.
This is an area of the country I’ve always wanted to visit
I know what you mean about wanting to linger a while a particularly beautiful places and write, sketch, or just meditate for a while. We so seldom get a chance to do something like that…
Dominique, you should visit!
