We get clear skies.
In the winter they are cold and clear, in the summer they are our dog days of summer, just right for a day on the beach.

Local Vistas
I’m late. Lost a couple of days because we headed over to Dad’s to enjoy the low tides.
We live a block below the good views. Here is a random gallery of photos taken within walking distance of my house or my dad’s house, my two centers of orbit in response to last week’s lens artists challenge: Local Vistas.

Lowest low
Due to the lunar nodal cycle we had the lowest low tide in 13 years yesterday. We spent the day over at my Dad’s. He lives on Vashon Island. For fun I took a series of photos from about the same vantage point to show the dramatic difference over the course of about twelve hours starting about 6 in the morning.
Clearly the weather wasn’t much: the sky was pretty much flat gray.

Low contrast sky
Somewhere between clear blue and “rain, heavy at times”.
This view of the sky above the Olympic Mountains from Fauntleroy Ferry Dock is from Saturday, the day when the high pressure front that gave us blue skies (and cold temps) last week gave way to more seasonal rain, at least it isn’t so cold, but, boy, is it wet right now.
Who needs words?
A brilliant beginning
To the weekend sky.
