Rosario State Park

This morning I was on my own, my husband off to a swap meet for classic cars. I thought about some of my favorite places to paint and decided it was time to visit Rosario State Park in Anacortes, WA. I loaded up my gear and welcomed the sunshine as predicted for this day thinking of which view might be most appealing at 10:00am. Much to my pleasure I walked to the shore using a different path and the scene was presented in perfection! I chose a log to sit on, listening to children playing nearby and began to set up. One youngster was nearby and curious, then suddenly a little chipmunk was spotted running my direction. I have always thought they were cute little creatures but didn't give him a second thought till he scurried up my leg and then jumped off toward his get away destination. It happened so fast I didn't have time to react, but then realized how it's the little things in life that bring such pleasure.
