Just another Tuesday

Japanese maple outside my apartment
...Not! It's Election Day, and the end of this awful season is now coming to an end. I woke this morning and walked to the bus under blue skies and exceptionally warm weather. It feels almost wrong for the temperature to be in the mid-sixties on its way up to 67 for the day. And sunshine! It was so warm when I walked out of the gym at 10:00am, I had to take off my jacket.

As I walked home, I saw the sunlight coming through the Japanese maple tree right before I walk up the steps to my apartment, with blue sky and clouds and a bit of green to complement the picture. It's such a nice day today, with a little rain expected tonight but another nice day possible for Thursday, that maybe another "last" trip to the High Country will be the cards. We'll just have to wait and see, but everywhere I look people are smiling and walking around in shirtsleeves! Magnificent!

  9. It was a lovely day in Portland today too. But I'm crossing my fingers for colder temps and rain to produce snow in the mountains - I want to ski!

  15. Magnificent indeed!!!
    So, that is where our sunshine went? Up your way in WA. Here, it's been overcast. But I'm not complaining. Our temps are in the low to mid 60s too. Yay.

    Gorgeous image.
