Moods of the Lake 2

Learn January 21, 2025 1 min read

Living in a houseboat allows you to feel the water, and you learn after a while that the lake has moods. Sometimes it is happy, sometimes it is sad, sometimes angry, sometimes mysterious, but it seems to me, always beautiful. When I shot this picture this morning, I was struggling with what mood the lake was in. This view only lasted a couple of minutes and it reminded me of a Peacock, spreading its tail feathers. So the mood I presumptuously assigned to the lake was Showing Off . Alright, that may not be a mood - maybe prideful? What do you think? In any case, Lake Union in Seattle can invoke a variety of feelings and presents astonishing beauty for a small, urban lake. There is an amazing variety to the views and even the amount of wildlife surprises us. There is a vast amount of activity, both man made and natural. We never dreamed that living in a houseboat could be this awe inspiring, surprising, and just down right fun. Every day is a vacation. I would love to hear your comments. What mood do you think the lake was in? Stay tuned for more "Moods of the Lake." Curious about houseboats and floating homes? Want to learn more?
