Quality of Life

As we go through our life our priorities change on what we consider important to enhance our "Quality of Life". What we considered important when we were 21 usually does not make the list when we are 73. For me at 73 being able to be in a natural setting and enjoy nature gives me energy and provides a real "upper". There is something about viewing mountains, lakes, waterfalls and the expanse of a salt water bay that gives me freedom and energy. Here in Bellingham you can always find a place to enjoy and be alone with nature within the city limits. This photo was taken in Boulevard Park which is 1/2 mile Southwest of downtown Bellingham on Bellingham Bay. An over-the-water boardwalk to the Southwest connects Boulevard Park to Fairhaven and a new over-the-water boardwalk will be constructed in 2012 to connect Boulevard Park to the Waterfront District to the Northeast providing a traffic free walking and biking experience. Boulevard Park is one of many "getaways" within the city limits of Bellingham. You can view all of these getaways on my website in Gallery 1.
