Today I headed north during a break in the rain and wind. The easy trails along Bowman Bay and Rosario Head are in good shape. There is no mud and very little risk of slipping anywhere. There were a nice variety of birds and ducks but not a lot of them. Seals were scattered about and diving for food. The pier at Bowman Bay is blocked off. I'm not sure why. I didn't see any obvious damage in the sections that I could see.
It's very pretty here and quiet when the Navy jets aren't flying. Today wasn't one of those days. The jets are disturbingly loud and can ruin a zenful mood. Still it was a good day. The wildlife and beauty seen amid the shorelines and cliffs made up for the distracting jet noise.
To top the day off on my drive home I could see Mount Baker. The snowless bare spots that were evident on the mountain in the summer are now covered in snow. I can hardly wait for Spring hikes.

There's a big heart in the middle of your third photo or was that the point? :-) Great photos as always.

Ha! I didn't see that before but now I do. My eyes were drawn to the madrone trees.
