I love nature!

Posted on November 7, 2015 by Marcia Ren

  It’s Saturday morning.  My husband brought a fresh cup of coffee into our bedroom which is located in the back part of our cottage.  He said he thought it looked like a beautiful morning sunrise, and that perhaps we could go to the jetty.  I said “sure! ” Here’s a few photos I popped out.  Enjoy!
