Oh say can you see?

It was a balmy 32 degrees or so yesterday. To celebrate, Alicia, Tess, her friend Becky, and I went swimming! I'll post more about this later once I get the film developed...

In the meantime, aren't these lovely photos? Both were taken as I zipped along the Glenn Highway. One demonstrates how cloudcover can rapidly turn our short daylight hours into longer darkness....

These mountains are a range we see everyday (unless they're shrouded by darkness or clouds). It's my hope that we don't ever not see them due to over familiarity. Right now, each time I see them, covered with snow, glistening in the sunlight, I'm just blown away by their majesty. Majesty... that word just suits them better than any other. But I wonder if my adoration might someday become glazed over by monotony. It would be a sad sad thing to be sure.
