Here in Seattle we've had a little of everything, but right now it is brilliantly sunny, not one cloud, but who knows what tomorrow will bring???

I barely caught these two shots, and to see them well at all, you need to click on them to embiggen, but it was a breathless moment!

I drove down to the harbor later to get a glimpse of snow on the Cascades, and again, not a cloud, just brilliant sunshine and blue skies!



But earlier this week we had our usual glorious sunsets!

The poetry of the earth is never dead. ~John Keats



Forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair. ~Kahlil Gibran



The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man. ~Author Unknown

Everybody needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in, where nature may heal and give strength to body and soul. ~John Muir
