This morning it was crystal clear with a strong wind and bright sunshine off and on, and as it had snowed last night it was still cold. I got out for a mid-morning walk on the waterfront trail in Old Town Tacoma on Ruston Way. I just took my camera without binos to lighten the load and enjoyed a few photo opportunities in great light.
