Paddleboarding on the Spokane River, Spokane

When life gets too hectic, just paddle away!

The overcast sky cast a soft, diffused light over the scene, making the reflections on the water almost surreal. As I strolled along the riverbank, I came across two paddleboarders gliding effortlessly across the mirror-like surface. It was a moment of pure zen, a stark contrast to the hustle and bustle of downtown Spokane. The modern pedestrian bridge in the background added a touch of urban charm, seamlessly blending with the lush greenery of the University District. It's funny how a city can surprise you with its hidden pockets of serenity, just when you think you've seen it all. Spokane, with its quirky blend of nature and urbanity, continues to be a delightful enigma. And here I am, just a wanderer, finding beauty in the most unexpected places. Paddleboarding on the Spokane River—who would've thought? Yet, it feels like the perfect metaphor for life—sometimes, you just need to paddle through the calm to truly appreciate the journey.
