Welcome, Spring!

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.

Dungeness Recreation Area

The trail meanders a short distance through a wooded area and then opens onto this view. Access to the bluff overlooking the Strait of Juan de Fuca near here has recently been moved inland because of erosion. But this view helps make up for the loss of a beautiful water vantage.
