It's been a warm, wet winter this year. I recently saw an article in the paper that told about the greater-than-average mossiness of the Olympic National Rainforest this year. I'm noticing the same in Boren-Interlaken Park.

I never did make it to the Viewpoint yesterday, and I'll be lucky if I make it today. It's already dusk, and I'm beginning to find winter a bit oppressive, although it's a light winter this year, and there are already small signs of spring here and there. I want to return to a photo I took a few days ago. It's not in perfect focus, but that's not the point.
