Today's sky

The sky was overcast. That's why the temperature was mild. Clear days in the winter are cold. But they were not heavy rain clouds.

The branches of the pin oak are bare. I think this tree is about 30 years old, as is our house. I'm not sure of the tree's age. One good thing about the windy, stormy weather we've had at times this winter is it has stripped the pin oak. Otherwise, it sheds its leaves all winter.

And this majestic evergreen is on the other side of the creek. I've probably taken hundreds and posted dozens of pictures of this tree, but to see trees like this every day is one of the reasons I moved to Washington.

That cloudy sky with the dark evergreen in front of it is a very Western Washington scene. I love it.
