Technology, Books and Other Neat Stuff

While up in Seattle, marypcb, elimloth and I took a trip across Puget Sound to the Olympic Peninsula. The weather was glorious, and we drove through the coastal ranges to Port Angeles before turning inland to the Olympics National Park and the long climb up Hurricane Ridge. It's a beautiful drive, up from sea level to almost a mile up. We took a stroll along one of the high trails, and saw this dead tree, stark white against a deep blue sky.



Absolutely beautiful.
