| Canadian mountains seen from Bellingham |
Did you know that yesterday was the first day of the Chinese New Year? It starts with the first lunar new moon of the calendar year. This is the Year of the Horse, one of twelve animals that cycle through their calendar. I was born during a Horse year, not to mention at the end of the year under Sagittarius, making me doubly horsy, I guess. Anyway, that link gives some predictions about the upcoming year.
And tomorrow, well, you know where 100 million Americans will be, don't you? I was shocked to find out how many people watch the Superbowl, and you can bet that many Washingtonians will be watching on pins and needles. Go Hawks! My Seahawks thumbnails are a little battered but still hanging in there.
The day after tomorrow I will spend all day traveling to visit my sister Norma Jean, and it looks like it's just in time: the next week is going to be quite a bit below normal here in Bellingham, but lots of sunshine and warm temperatures are expected in Florida, now that their cold snap is gone. Next Tuesday I'll post from there, hopefully showing me having fun!
:-)
i will be rooting for the seahawks, just for you. LOVE that top view. and good traveling to florida!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a beautiful picture, DJan. I just love it. Good luck to the Hawks. I look forward to seeing your post tomorrow on your other blog before you fly to Florida the next day.
ReplyDeleteWe are two of a 100 million that won't be watching..football is on the bottom of our list. Never cared for it...either of us so we are welly matched.
ReplyDeleteThanks is one beautiful photo of your mountains!:)
the light on those mountains in the distance is amazing....i will watch...hope its a good game...and maybe a few good commercials along the way...the horse and pups one looks so cute.....
ReplyDeleteFYI that mountain is called Golden Ears and Is the first mountain I saw after moving to Bellingham. It is the centerpiece of Golden Ears Provincial Park.
ReplyDeleteGlad we provide those nice mountains for you to look at!
ReplyDeleteNothing like a good vigorous walk before sitting on an airplane all day.
ReplyDelete180 million watch the super bowl! Gorgeous photos and happy chinese new year to you, Sagittarius!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy our mountains, and take such good pictures of them, DJan.
ReplyDeleteAnd this being the Year of the Horse, I anticipate you'll do lots of horsing around on mountain trails and under parachutes.
Blessings and Bear hugs!
What a fabulous picture of the mountains, DJan. We celebrated the lunar new year with Chinese food. On my! You and my son are both horse people. That explains how you're both so brave and adventurous always galloping to new adventures. Have a great time in Florida! Jon is on an airplane heading to Bangladesh as I write. May you both have safe and happy trips.
ReplyDeleteDunno if I like the Chinese calendar, b/c I'm pegged as a ... rat. On the other hand, it gives me something in common with George Washington, John F. Kennedy and William Shakespeare. Anyway, nice photo; have a good trip.
ReplyDeleteMy packers are long gone, so I'm root-toot-tooting for the Hawks - fly over that field you fast little footed kritters and win it all. A lovely photo DJan - love the colours at the top between the clouds n top of mountain - a keeper for sure. Safe trip to your sister's - Cheers
ReplyDelete100 million? Not me- going for a run with my daughter tomorrow. On track for my half marathon training. It's Feb. 23 and I'm getting excited! Gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteMy daughter is a "horse," so she was quite happy to see the Chinese New Year. Enjoy your beach holiday!
ReplyDeleteSo much to say...
ReplyDeleteFirst, congrats to the 'hawks!! They deserved the trophy.
Second...that sunrise image is majestic!!
Third....have a safe trip to Florida.
I watched the kitten bowl. And I celebrated the year of the horse at my favorite place, The Midtown Global Market. Amazing sunset out there.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful mountains.
ReplyDeleteDear DJan, I'm glad the Seahawks won the Super Bowl. I was rooting for them.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing that astounding photograph of the sunrise over the mountains.
My thoughts and prayers are with you. Peace.
That is a breathtaking photo!!
ReplyDeleteI don't even know who won...or care--LOL! Have a safe trip!! :)
I managed to get home on Sunday just in time to tune in the Superbowl. My hubby and I are not big football fans but we do like to watch this one big game. I wish it had been a little closer score wise to make it more exciting. I fell asleep during the third quarter.
