Show at Sunset

(Click on the photo see a larger version)

Here the show is often not in the west at sunest, but in the east. The colors reflected off the snow on Mt. Baker bring out such detail that I often forget to look west.

It's good to look up

Today I'm moving furniture around and moping floors getting ready for tomorrow's guests and the feast that I can almost taste right now. The day has been pretty focused and I've been grateful that the view hasn't been distracting me. The water has been grey with the sky matching it most of the day. Five minutes or so ago I did look up, to see if the windows needed washing, and was rewarded. Glacier Peak, one of the many volcanic mountains in the area, was visible. It is a rare site from here and I'm glad I looked up!

Mt. Baker

There is an ever changing view from my window. It is an amazing gift that I try to enjoy every day. There are those grey water days where the view isn't very exciting, however the majority of the time it is lovely. Sometimes though it just takes my breath away. Today Mt. Baker did that. The mountain was out in full glory. All 10,778 snow capped feet rising from sea level could be seen.

The photo doesn't do it's beauty justice.
