Looking up into the eastern sky at sunrise

Serene evening ...

Looking out over Puget Sound after sunset

Mid-winter Olympic Mountains ...

Looking west to the Olympic Mountain Range
on a cold, clear morning.

Now vs. then ...

Closing thought ...
It only takes 1 tree to make a thousand matches
It only takes 1 match to burn a thousand trees

  3. Excellent photos John, glad you were impressed by my teasels which you could see if you read about them used to be used in the wool trade.

  4. Good Morning John, your photos are lovely. We went for a little drive a couple of days ago and the sun was hitting the Cascades off in the distances . . . so pretty. Although this snow and ice makes a beautiful landscape, I am looking forward to seeing it all melt away.
    I like that quote from the match box . . . so true.
    Have a lovely day.
    Connie :)

  13. Hello John, it looks to me like you're getting bluer skies during your winter than we are in our summer :) Oh well, we can't do anything about the weather so we might as well just enjoy the day.
    Lovely sky and mountain photos and that's a great quote.
