the chinook winds blew in last night and are trading our fluffy snow for 40F.

birch catkins, the sea

i went down to the beach to check on the sea ice. a gallop of redpolls feasted on birch catkins, and then stampeded away.

winter beach

the tide was out and i walked along the stranded ice floe following a trail of dog tracks...or coyote?

blue day, mid day

the day was a dark blue.

chinook winds are melting the snow
