Prentiss Balance Wickline Architects @pbwarchitects designs Boathouse in San Juan Islands, #Washington, USA Read more: Link in bio! Photography: Andrew Pogue @poguephoto, Taj Howe @tajhowe. Prentiss Balance Wickline Architects: Located on Orcas Island, the Boathouse stands foremost as a threshold between water and land, an idea it embraces literally by providing upland access to those arriving by boat or seaplane, and figuratively through its location and form. It straddles the elements, providing an entryway as well as a dramatic spot for a morning cup of coffee or a crab boil with the extended family… #usa #orcasisland #архитектура www.amazingarchitecture.com ✔ A collection of the best contemporary architecture to inspire you. #design #architecture #amazingarchitecture #architect #arquitectura #luxury #realestate #life #cute #architettura #interiordesign #photooftheday #love #travel #construction #furniture #instagood #fashion #beautiful #archilovers #home #house ‎#amazing #picoftheday #architecturephotography ‎#معماری (at Orcas Island, San Juan Islands, Washington State, USA) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjnaRGOM4Cc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Puffins are seabirds that feed primarily by diving in the water. They breed in large colonies on coastal cliffs or offshore islands, nesting in crevices among rocks or in burrows in the soil. Two species, the tufted puffin and horned puffin, are found in the North Pacific Ocean • #repost #nature #outdoors #outside #washington #orcasisland #island #seattle #ocean #pacific #pacificocean #water #puffin #puffins #coastal #wonderfulplaces #depthsofearth #traveling #discover_earthpix #earth #earthporn #earthdayeveryday #nikond610 #nikon #nikonnofilter #stademagazine #alliseemag #notasoulmagazine #fadedaesthetics (at Orcas Island) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdXGDQaLVqZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We made the ferry, thankfully, got set up at a truly lovely campground ⛺️ (yes, sometimes we camp on tour!) and are really excited for our sets at the Lopez Islander Resort tonight at 7. Local faves The Fieldboats will close out the night 🎸.

The Old Tree

The sight of the tree stops you in your tracks. Some things are like that. You’ll be going about your business when some tiny current of energy demands attention and, even though it would be easy to ignore, you’ve learned to heed the call.

She is not tall and stately like her neighbors. She has been twisted and turned by the merciless elements and the ravages of time. An impossibly long root – or maybe it’s her trunk? – stretches along the ground for at least fifteen feet. She hangs over the edge of the rocks with the waters of Cascade Lake sparkling only a few feet below. Like a bonsai she has been sculpted by careful hands, yet you suspect these hands were not human, but those belonging to wind, rain, time.

Her face is turned southward toward the sun, and there her needles glow green in delight. She is peering around the corner past her bigger neighbors for her own sustenance, but also to better see and hear the kids swimming and splashing at the beach.

She has lived here for many years and she knows her days are numbered. But she doesn’t mind. She’ll be content on her solo perch for however long she is allowed.

She has lessons to share with anyone willing to listen. Go, sit near her long, undulating root-trunk and ask her what she knows. She’ll tell you that you’re doing exactly what you should be doing with your life – listening, noticing, learning, appreciating.

And yet, you grow impatient. You have a long hike to finish, after all. So, you stand to stretch your legs. You lay a palm against her bark in gratitude, and then you continue on your way.

She stays behind, and she hides a grin because she sees you have not yet learned the deeper lessons she is here to teach. The biggest life lessons come with time and tenacity. Someday, she knows, you’ll learn that a well-lived life is not about going further, doing more. It’s about less. It’s about stretching until you find the corner of your forest where you feel the warmth of the sun, and then lifting your face to soak in its rays.

*From my San Juan Islands Collection. Cascade Lake, Orcas Island. July 14, 2021.

Heliotrope Architects @heliotropearchitects reveals Buck Mountain Cabin, Orcas Island, Washington, a cabin designed to reach out into the tree canopy and embrace expansive views Read more: Link in bio! Photography: Taj Howe, Sean Airhart Heliotrope Architects: Approached initially to consult on site-selection, the firm encouraged the clients to focus on features that are unique to the San Juans such as grassy basalt rock outcroppings set within a Douglas fir and pacific madrone forest. The owners later purchased a hillside parcel possessing these features, the rock outcroppings forming a small clearing… #usa #cabin #orcasisland #архитектура www.amazingarchitecture.com ✔ A collection of the best contemporary architecture to inspire you. #design #architecture #amazingarchitecture #architect #arquitectura #luxury #realestate #life #cute #architettura #interiordesign #photooftheday #love #travel #construction #furniture #instagood #fashion #beautiful #archilovers #home #house ‎#amazing #picoftheday #architecturephotography ‎#معماری (at Orcas Island, Wa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd80pk_rlOF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
