I was out at Sudden Valley the other day. That is a community south of Bellingham. You go by Lake Whatcom and suddenly you are at Sudden Valley. It has it's own little lake -- Lake Louise. I remember going to see Lake Louise as a kid, before Sudden Valley was a thought in anyone's mind. My dad would drive there, with me in tow, and no one was ever around except an old guy, probably a squatter, who lived in a tar paper shack. There were deer too, and I still take photos of deer almost every time I go out there. Today was an exception, I did not see deer, but I got a nice photo of a little park and the lake and nearby houses.

Thanks for stopping by,

Steven L. Smith

Hey, Steven, I knew an old guy who used to fish out at Lake Louise, long time ago.  He's dead now, but his name was Pete Cota.  Lived Duck Valley Res, ever hear of him?

Thanks for sharing the photo that included so much natural beauty. It's beautiful in San Ramon CA as well, but we don't have lakes like this.

Doesn't look like there is anything sudden about that spot.

Steve - Very beautiful indeed.  And, very similar to views I have experienced here in the Hudson Valley.  Sometimes the best views in life are FREE.  Getting there, now that's always the problem. So we need to appreciate our local scenery and not make these drives drive-by experiences.  Glad you stopped for a photo- Thanks for sharing.
