The birds on the Sammamish River and on Lake Washington. Bald eagles, great blue herons, ospreys, coots, cormorants, bufflehead ducks, mergansers. I love the sound of the redwing blackbird's spring song, which we always hear coming around Lake Washington--it always sounds to me like shattered jewels.

I love to hear a small waterfall. We have lots of small creeks on our rides and running water over rocks is my absolute favorite sound. I like crunching leaves too.

For sights, the reward of the view after cresting a hard climb or GOATS! I am forever amused by goats, DH thinks it is silly but I get glee out of seeing them being goofy.

The sight of Mt Baker, suddenly appearing.

The eagles.

The ocean. The sight and smell of the ocean after a long hot ride....heaven. Mentally and physically refreshing.

I love seeing wild Turkey, especially if they take off and fly for some reason. They're quite spectacular.

Bald Eagles! I saw a Pileated Woodpecker and almost fell off my bike looking at it.

The smells of pines some days, just incredible.

I love the way horses look at me like I'm totally nuts (and slow!).

On my morning commutes, I often stop along the river and look left and see the moon, then look right and see the sun rising. That's pretty awesome. And hearing nothing but the bunnies stirring in the grass/leaves...ahhh.
