I think con trails broke up the clouds into amazing patterns. Whatever it was, the effect was stunning.

Sunday evening sky
Skies like this are one of the reasons I like to walk in the early evening.
Open sky, open view
One of the things I love about living in the country is that views are generally unimpeded by corridors of buildings. I like what cities offer but it’s easier to breathe with this kind of space.
Nostalgia
I titled this post “Nostalgia” because I’m missing this kind of sky: clear and blue. The winds yesterday brought Sequim grey skies heavy with smoke from a fire on the western slopes of the Olympic Mountains. The rain forest where it’s burning – wilderness – is anything but rainy right now. Humidity was reported at 21% which is bone dry, relatively speaking. The fire has been burning for a while now. Though we’ve had periods of smoke, yesterday was the worst so far. Tops of the mountains were obscured by day’s end.
Correction: The Peninsula Daily News today reports that our smoke is drifting south to us from Vancouver Island, B.C.
Ideal hangout
Port Williams, an historic spot on Sequim Bay and mini-park, was a perfect spot to visit on one of our recent warm evenings.
Evolution of Sunset part 3
Sunset at Fort Flagler last week just got better and better. Here’s the last of the series of the brilliant sky – and beautiful water – we witnessed. It was one of those spectacular sunsets that take their time unfolding. What a treat!
Evolution of sunset, part 2
As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, we left the beach at Fort Flagler before sunset. The sky was flat grey and it was downright cold. But I happened to look over my shoulder as we reached the nearby campground. The sky had burst into flames and burned bright gold. I took this shot a few minutes later when we returned to the beach. And it got even better. Check back tomorrow for Evolution of Sunset part 3.
