nature in winter

Here are some pictures from the last few weeks.

We went to Eastern Washington to spend Christmas with Mike's family and captured a lovely sunset on the way over.

And a drive-by view of the Olympics while going over the Hood Canal Bridge.

A (slightly blurry) New Year's Eve blue moon over the neighbors' house. Apparently there won't be another blue moon on New Year's Eve until 2029 or something.

For New Year's Day we drove to Port Townsend. We got there at high tide and the wind was whipping the water all over the place. Just as you drive into town, by the ferry terminal, the water was splashing onto the side walk. This dock looks like it is going to be submerged.

Fort Worden wasn't quite as windy as in town but the sky was just a sheet of dark blue clouds.
