Blue skies

The Pacific Northwest is also known for its gray, rainy days.  Fortunately for me, we reside in the small rain shadow formed by the Olympic Mountains.  The past few days were windy and rainy, like much of the country.  Today was not that at all.  Today was sunny.  The skies were blue.  The distant mountains freshly bleached with a blanket of pure snow.  Riding the bikes into Langley, proved very rewarding.

And from a week ago, the last picture is a reminder of wonderful PNW coastal mornings.
