Sunny warm days


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.

I am grateful for the natural beauty that surrounds me.
