Quiet Morning

This is a beautiful parkway for walking/biking. I am sure it is even prettier in the Spring. Many of the intersecting roads have bike trails and even though it's cold outside, I wish that I had had my bike ready to ride this morning.

These other photos I took while driving through scenic Everson, just south of the Canadian border. It looks like there's a glare through my camera lens, but it is really the fog that was surrounding the evergreens. It was so quiet and serene on this road that I felt like I was the only person out there, but I actually saw several other cars. It is near the Nooksack River, which is currently overflowing. I would have taken pictures of the river if I had had more time.

Everson must be a logging and lumber town. It is rural and has a similar feeling to Logan, Utah. I drove down the main street in town and the shops and buildings all appeared to be older. I was sad to discover several farms that had been completely flooded from the rain this week. I saw two homes that were joined by a new lake that the rain had left behind. There were probably two hundred ducks that decided to occupy this lake, whose borders were washing up against the windows of these two neighboring houses. It looked like such a mess and devastating to the occupants of these homes.
