Today was unseasonably warm in Seattle—it was a whopping 60 F with clear skies and bright sunshine. I got to drive around town with my car window down. Still a little chilly for windows down while driving on the freeway.
Driving across the 520 bridge from East to West, the snow-capped Olympics stood prominently against the skyline in all their glory. Going home from West to East, the snow-capped Cascade mountains were gorgeous from Mt Baker south to Mt Rainier. It is a panoramic view of 100 miles of snow-capped peaks buttressed by a forest of evergreen trees running North-South located 30 miles to the east of Bellevue.
A visit to the UW Arboretum was a study in green from the new grass to shrubs and trees sprouting buds and the first leaves of spring. The ducks, joggers and dog-walkers were a kaleidoscope of activity in a sea of green after the dull gray of winter.
