winter light pasts on a frozen January morning...

It’s a mostly clear day in Seattle. But, usually around here, a clear day in mid-winter means a cold day, and at 9:30 AM, it’s a little extra cold: 18˚ F. (-8˚ C). That’s up from 15˚ F before the sun rose. It’s very rare that it gets this cold in Western Washington, which usually has a mild Pacific coastal climate. Cooler and darker winters than California, but usually not too bad.

I doubt I’ll be out with the camera today. I haven’t been for a week or two, and then only looking for birds (not many, though I spotted 10 eagles the other day, a record of sorts for me). Here’s a small selection from the archives with a sort of clear, midwinter theme, all taken on January 13.
