The rains from January continued
through most of February providing the Pacific Northwest with the most rain
during winter in recorded history. The
storms last sometimes just for a day or two with a sun break day and then the
rains return. Rain has never been a problem for the NW natives, they are
accustomed to getting out in it, they are born outdoors people. No umbrella (or
Bumbershoot) required.

My return to a old hobby has
filled the long nights with fractured jazz chords and slowly reviving dexterity
of some dormant fingers.

| At the Whale tail, Seattle Center having outdoor fun. |
 |
| Not all of the fronts come with big winds but When the winds come from the North and funnel down through the Canadian Fraser Valley the winds can easily reach tropical force +. |

| The fading sunbreak before the next front coming in. |
 |
| A day to escape and get out on the water. We did manage to actually get a sail in on a Sunny 50 degree day. We had 15+ NW winds with a great downwind sail to Elliot Bay and then, after reefing the Genoa, a closed hauled romp back to Shilshole. |

| It's Clara's turn now to enjoy Pocket Beach. |
 |
| A message on the Beach |
 |
| And another one? |
 |
| Mt. Rainer is a personal friend to all who live in this region. |
 |
| Clara loved this plant at the Volunteer Park Conservatory |
 |
| A Blue Sunset on our walk to our first Sounders game of the Season. |
 |
| As more and more people submit their DNA the data reveals more clues to your ancestry. A old family document suggested we had ties to the Vikings but now this. |
 |
| Brian and Ann Heckman, who we shared some fun times with in Seattle, lives near Winter Park, Colorado and got this incredible shot at sunrise right out the front window of their home. What a special moment. |
