Ominous to glittering to eerie glow

Here's how yesterday morning began: dull, grey, and ominous, with a carpet of frost--thick as cat fur--on every surface:

And here's how it was less than an hour later, bright and spangled with sun:

And--though sadly I don't have a photo--last night was cold and clear with a huge LED-bright full moon. And a scarf of fog lying twisted around the neck of the Olympics and draped across the Sound, which glowed like the breath of some spirit stealing into our world.

I love Seattle.

  1. I love your description of it. Not very many writers make nature come alive as you can.

  2. barbara, well, I forgot that it was to be a partial lunar eclipse--I'd like to have seen that. Ah, well.
