That's a beautiful picture. You're lucky that you have such a pretty, quiet place that you can get to easily. It must really help your state of mind. I used to have a getaway place, and I miss it terribly.

I think I know how you managed to get so much accomplished in so little time. You didn't sleep much.

I hope you always have an accessible getaway place and that it helps you feel more calm and strong.

I lived for several years in Seattle as a child. The trick with the weather is to go outside whenever the sun is out because you do not get many shots at it.

Beautiful prose and beautiful picture! I especially like the way the centre shell collecting the lights – a lot to be thought about it when I’m looking this picture.
It’s so true a lot of things in life are not to be prepared for. But a lot of them in a sense you may have been prepared for years, such as positive outlook, good work ethics, perseverance and confidence in yourself and in the people around you. Specific skills and knowledge about something are relatively easy to be prepared for, but in the end, it’s the health attitude and inner strength that really make the difference in terms of readiness for new challenges, whatever they may be.

Congrats for your successful first UBC year and enjoy the spring!:-)
