Views of Sequim, the Olympic Peninsula. . .and beyond
We headed out to take photos on Sunday afternoon. There were blue skies when we started. We drove through rain squalls by the time we came home. Then it stayed dry enough to take a walk. On some days if you don’t like the weather just wait 15 minutes.
The Olympic Mountains got the first noticeable snow of the season overnight on Friday night. As the clouds cleared through the day on Saturday, snow patches were revealed.
(If this view looks familiar it’s because it’s one of my favorites, also shown in the Sequim Daily Photo header, above.)
I like the look of snow in our mountains but I can’t say I’m excited at the prospect of winter’s short days.
Welcome to summer in the northern hemisphere.
School’s out but it’s haying season for our farmers. Dawn to dusk: cutting, furrowing, baling, and hauling. There’s nothing romantic about farm work. It’s work, pure and simple.
It’s so glorious when the mountains are clear.
Some days the mountains are visible and beautiful. Other times they’re nestled behind a thick blanket of clouds. And occasionally they give us a sneak peek to remind us what we look forward to seeing each day.
A while back we looked out the window to see someone flying back and forth at a distance.
Do you see the speck towards the middle of this shot? He or she was way up there. And probably had a spectacular view.
It would be nice to fly like a bird. But until I grow a pair of suitable wings I’m not sure this is how I’d care to take flight.
Today is the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere. It’s not hard to believe because we’ve had spring-like weather for the last few days. This doesn’t always happen here but it’s certainly appreciated.
If you’re interested in such things, tonight’s full moon is the last of three supermoons of 2019. It will appear bigger and brighter, weather permitting. The last supermoon that occurred on spring equinox was in 2000. There won’t be another until 2030.
