I just got home from being in Blaine, where the Nestucca River is right across the road from a guy I kind of "watch over." It's more of a pay his bills, make sure he takes his meds and keeps himself and the house clean sort of thing.

Where this is going...we just sat for over 30 minutes watching some elk (3 cows and 3 or 4 juveniles) across the river eating and meandering around. As I left they were crossing the river, and probably crossed the road after I drove by.

I have to agree there is nothing more beautiful than nature - the dewy spider web, whales, and these elk. I love living where nature is right outside my window!!
