My favorite streets are not too wide, but also not too narrow: they are exactly a whole number of tree canopies wide. One canopy is sweet and cozy; the houses act like a gorge, trapping coolness in summer, while trees exhale and further cool the air below. Two canopies, for biking arteries :)

There's Mount Baker from the middle of the lagoon we swam in. It was shallow enough to stand up and enjoy a cold beverage while we took in the spectacular scenery. It's a rare day to be able to see Baker from this far up island, especially in summer 😻 photo by @birb.mom
