A nice view with Bell Hill in the background.

Clearing skies
We’ve had over a half inch of welcome rain this month. Because of this we’ve not seen much of the Olympic Mountains. We were tickled to see fresh snow during a clear period yesterday morning. It’s the first we’ve seen this season.
How green is the valley
The spot where this is taken is one of the best places to view the Dungeness Valley. I’ve shown this view before and chances are good that I’ll show it again. It’s hard to tire of this vista.
Mountain peekaboo
It was a grey day but it looked like the mountains wanted to have a glimpse of us mortals down in the lowlands.
Slippin’ and slidin’
Another big piece of the bluffs at Dungeness Recreation Area has taken a tumble. The bumpers you see on the right side of this shot are at the edge of a pullout road that passes this spot, bringing the bluff ledge within about five feet (1.5 m.) of the road.
There is virtually nothing beyond the right side of the post here. The sandy soil under the post is starting to crack away and you can see some daylight where the erosion has eaten under the fence on the right.
Clallam County Parks, manager of the recreation area, plans to realign trails and roads away from the bluffs. It looks like their timetables may have to be set in motion sooner than anyone wants. I wish it weren’t so. This is one of the few remaining areas with an unobstructed water view and it’s a nice place to stop.
Life is good
About a month ago we got some very comfortable Adirondack chairs for our deck. Within moments of DH assembling them it started raining. And kept raining. After what seems like an endless winter we’ve finally had a few days when we can go outside to enjoy the deck and our new chairs.
I know I’ve mentioned that I love our view. My long lens has cropped it down, but this is what we see from our deck.
A nice day. A glass of wine or ale. Adirondack chairs. This is what I call a Life is Good moment.
River trail view
This is one of the views from the river trail walk we took last weekend. The clouds were gorgeous. Unfortunately we’re back to wall-to-wall clouds of the grey variety again. This too will pass. Soon, I hope.
