Rainbow on the shore, Lake Quinault

A row of colorful kayaks rests on the pebbly shoreline of Lake Quinault, their reds, oranges, yellows, and greens lined up like a painter’s palette. Behind them, the deep blue lake ripples under a clear sky that fades to pink at the horizon, with forested hills of the Olympic Peninsula rolling along the far shore. A paddleboarder glides in the distance, a swimmer cools off in the water, and weathered pilings rise from the lake, adding a touch of history to a lazy summer day.
