The Great Pacific Northwest

I survived rain, snow, and sleet this past weekend while visiting Seattle, WA and Portland, OR.  Hell, I thrived!  I love cold weather...and the Pacific Northwest suits me juuuust fine.

I didn't take many pictures, unfortunately, but here are some to commemorate my trip...

Pine smells so much better in real winter.

Frozen lake with trapped bubbles.  Nothing so lovely, folks.

Lake Hearst.  Frozen over.

I had to take a picture of this little sucker because it was clinging so tenaciously to the branch!

Lovely moss, lovely tree.

The cousins bundled up for the winter...and trying not to fall on their arses.
