Sunrise Over Lake Whatcom

Took these this morning when I saw the glow reflected in my bedroom mirror. The top one was earlier. I puttered awhile and looked again and saw the bottom colors. Took a few more.

Skies over Georgia Pacific

Took these on my way home from painting yesterday. The skies were putting on a show.

Christmas Eve Gathering

We had a great Christmas Eve gathering at Dave and Nora's. Spencer was there. Friends Rick and Judy came with Rick's daughter Rose. We began with a rousing game of Mexican Train. Spencer and Rose looked over family photos while Nora and Dave prepared a delicious meal of cracked crab and spaghetti. Rick and Judy prepared a yummy Caesar salad. The meal was scrumptious. Nora had provided Christmas crackers so we all enjoyed making a bit of celebratory noise. Dave lent me a tripod for the final timer photo. We are left to right: Rose, Rick, Judy, Dave, Nora, Arvin, Ann and Spencer.

Beautiful Day on the Nooksack

Arvin, Steve and I drove up to Mosquito Lake Road to look for eagles. I was afraid they'd all be soaring because it was such a beautiful day. I needn't have worried. They were in the trees as well as in the sky. It was cold but wonderful. We stopped a wonderful little coffee shop in Maple Falls called Mountain Man. The espresso was great. The breakfast burritos were hot and yummy. And the folks that run the place were great company. We all had a wonderful day.
