Cold, Sunny Start to the Year

Our year here in Seattle has started off cold by our standards.  But in a way, it hasn't felt as cold because it has been dry and clear.  New Year's day, we all bundled up and walked along part of the Burke Gilman Trail that Paul had seen the day before on a bike ride and thought was rather interesting.  Ice had formed at one point and then it looks like the water level had receded, leaving the ice hanging from the brush.  All of these pictures are from that walk except for the close-up of the heavy frost on the small leaves, which is from our front yard.
