Brisk wind and bright blue water make Puget Sound such a beautiful place to live or visit.

Here in the tiny community of Lakebay
on Key Peninsula is a peaceful, rural place to view the stunning views of Puget Sound.
Established in 1871, Lakebay has been a community eight years longer than Washington has been a state.
Our view here of two boats anchored together,
a commercial vessel and a sailboat behind are nestled safely behind a spit
in the mouth of Lakebay Bay.

I love the cerulean blue waters of the bay,
contrasted by the deeper ultramarine blues of Carr Inlet on Puget Sound.
Taking a picnic lunch, I love my day trips to Lakebay.
While not many miles from the very urban cities of Seattle and Tacoma,
Lakebay is very rural, quiet and peaceful.

Where is one of your favorite day trip destinations?

beautiful! my daughter is at the lake today, perfect day for it!
That water is simply gorgeous. I have many day trip destination favs. Couldn’t pick a single one. Thanks for hosting!
it is beautiful!
Wow…how beautiful! Wish I was on that water right now.
A lovely shot Madge, it looks lovely there, hope you’re doing better this week :)
Hi Madge. Your photos are always so beautiful. Thank you for hosting and hope that you are doing better..Happy Wednesday..Judy
I love the Pacific Northwest! What a beautiful picture!
That is a gorgeous shot Madge, the blues are beautiful.
Dazzling photo evokes all sorts of sounds♫♪ Thanks, Madge, for hosting♥
Love that color blue of the water but looks like a choppy day to be out on the boat.
I always enjoy seeing your water and boat pictures, Madge. It is something so different from the South Dakota and Nebraska prairies I am familiar with.
this is a fantastic shot of a very beautiful place ~ a bit like Cape Ann MA but the Atlantic Ocean ~ Thanks for hosting ^_^
Very pretty and serene! :)
It would be a pleasant day to be on the lake! Love the water :)
Nice reminder that “rural” doesn’t always mean “prairie”!
Beautiful! I’m always jealous of people who have such beautiful sea scenes close to them.
Looks like a wonderful place.
What a great photo – such colors. Our favorite day trip is Birch Bay and Birch Bay State Park. There is always something different every time we go.
Water looks so crisp and clean and would love to be closer to the water. I am starting to enjoy the Clarkesville area of Va. peaceful and Virginias only river town.
A lovely tranquility and feel of gentle movement Madge. Hope you are feeling better.

I always enjoy your images of boats/ships on the water.
That looks like a lovely spot for a picnic! :)
My favorite day trip is to just drive around the county looking for photo ops!
Lovely, colors also.
What a peaceful scene…nicely done! My problem is that I never take time to make anywhere a destination…maybe someday I’ll figure out how to do that!
What pretty water!
