Sun, sun, sun... clouds

The sun made an unexpected appearance yesterday!  I made sure to get out and enjoy every available moment of it which is why I didn't post yesterday (by the time I got back I was somewhat tipsy...).  Anyway, the story goes like this:  As of bedtime Sunday night the weather report for Monday said "rain."  Nothing new there.  Monday morning I was awakened by a perky little puppy dog who desperately wanted me to get up and open the door so he could go out on the balcony and lay in the sun (which is where he spent the rest of the day when we weren't out walking).  I put on my shorts and headed out to find the perfect Mt. Rainier photo op.  I followed the elusive mountain to downtown where it vanished behind some buildings.  It was being coy and I could only see little hints of it behind trees or buildings for the most part.  The peeks I got looked spectacular with the bright white snow contrasted against the bright blue sky.  It was beautiful.  Too bad I couldn't get a clear shot of it before the clouds came in...

I settled for a picture of the Olympic Mountains from the waterfront:

You can clearly see the clouds coming in to regain their foothold in the NW.  Ah well, it was a nice change and so unexpected!  Today it's back to cold and rainy and that's the forecast for the rest of the week.  At least there's been one day in June we didn't need to crank up the heat.
