February 1st...if you live in the great Pacific Northwest Coast region, then you know what this date means. Early early Spring, of course!
This has been such an odd year, weather-wise. A true La Nina pattern, delivering unusual, not normal conditions all over the world. This typically "wet coast" environment has experienced Arctic Cold, Pineapple Express monsoon style rains/high winds, and all in about a three week period!
Today, everywhere, it's one of those mountains jumping into the sky days, sun splashing us into energy, vistas to soothe the soul...coffee places with patios are suddenly busy as we all turn our faces to the sky, like buttercups drinking in that sun.
People in Victoria will be inspired by the "face" of the dramatic Olympics and Seattle souls will get that frieze of frozen beauty on the back side. Mt Baker & Mt Rainier, no matter where you live, are riveting sights today.
Sea and sky and island beauty...WOW for all of us, as Nature says, yes, I can be alluring, too.
Still not out of the woods, yet, re more cold/snow, I know, but today holds the promise of erupting earth folding and bulging its way into true Spring.
I'm ready!
How may I help you to discover special Salt Spring Island & the Southern Gulf Islands? Call me!
