Merry Christmas

Looking west from Seattle to the Olympic Mountains
While looking through my postcard collection for a card to share this holiday, suddenly the clouds to the west parted and the morning sun brightened the fresh snow on the Olympic Mountains. I thought ... maybe I can make my own post card and that is what you see above.

After snapping the photo, I continued looking for a paper card and the one I found is shown below. It's pretty old ... probably early 1900s. Hope you have a fine celebration be it Christmas, Hanukkah, or Kwanzaa.

A Merry Christmas

Thanks for stopping by John's Island.

    Hi JOHN,
    MERRY CHRISTMAS to You and Family - Best Wishes from KEV. (Sydney AUSTRALIA). Whilst you have snow there in Seattle we have 35Deg C for Christmas Day...the Air Conditioner is certainly on- and a bit hot to sit in the Shed and work on my Modelling to-day. Have a great time there in Seattle. Cheers. KEV.

    Wow, impressive mountain view! Where I live in south-west Sweden we have no snow for Christmas, but the temperatures are hovering around 0'C, i.e. freezing point. Today looks like it's going to be sunny, though.

    Your photography blows my mind. The city of Seattle should have you on their payroll. Your photos could double the tourism :) Thank you for visiting my blog. Reply to your comment: John you are so generous with your kind comments, thank you for being such a good blogging friend. Merry Christmas to you and your wife. May your new year be filled with amazing adventures and extreme good health.
    Connie :)
