As I Walk with Beauty As I walk, as I walk The universe is walking with me In beauty it walks before me In beauty it walks behind me In beauty it walks below me In beauty it walks above me Beauty is on every side As I walk, I walk with Beauty. Traditional Navajo Prayer

A Beautiful Frosty Morning Below the Chuckanuts

Annual Christmas bird counts were happening on this cold frosty morning.  I decided to get up and watch the sunrise over the Cascades warming up the Samish delta below Blanchard Mountain yesterday.  The birds put on quite a showing near the small town of Edison.
