A Vitamin D Infusion

For a little while this morning, between fronts, the sun broke through to reflect brightly off of the freshly snow-capped Olympic mountain range. It was a glorious, but brief, event.

Old sol was soon replaced by gloomy, gray skies as the clouds just kept coming in. So now we’re back to “normal” winter weather – clouds for the time being and some rain later on. And the low temp is dropping each night.

That, of course, means some nasty could be on the way – again. Snow, and maybe ice, is predicted by as early as Tuesday. Such is the fun of living in the Northwest.

But for those of us who love to live here, that brief glimpse of the spectacular was enough to tide us over till the next one.

And for those, like me, with S.A.D.. these short bursts of sunlight give us a quick vitamin D infusion.

RK, when you publish a photo you should take the date off of it - I have a special program that reads dates that have been erased and this photo is from 1958 when I lived in the Northwest!

I actually remember the day and date that the area looked like this!

Can't fool a "fooler"!

It's interesting how only you had digital photos in 1958.
