Just a short post to celebrate a wonderful and rare event in Western Oregon. A bright and sunny day with mild temps in the middle of Winter. --- Normally, we get to deal with rain, wind, and for most days, clouds and mist. I love the rain, don't get me wrong. It is one of the things that brought me here in the first place. Two years ago we had a period of nearly 100 days we did not see the sun and nearly every day it rained. Even for me, that was a bit too much. So, today join me in celebrating the sun. I know the midwest is getting hit pretty hard right now with winter weather, and I can sympathize but I think I am going out to enjoy a nice walk in the sun. How are you spending the day? Photo is mine. The bird is a Golden Eagle.

Stunning photo of the Eagle. Wow! We have sunshine and 50s today for a change in TN. Rain coming tomorrow and color temps again.

Thanks, this bird was very happy to be photographed. It is an ambassador animal from a rescue organization.

Lovely photo! Such a terrific shot. It’s cloudy here today, but very warm for January. I walked this morning with hubs, but heading out for a picnic and a hike in the woods right now! Enjoy your day.

Living where we live, we get a great many bright and sunny days. It would be unusual to have too many grey days in a row.

It was the same when we lived in California. We rarely had clouds for an entire day.

What a beautiful bird! I have not seen the sun for a week or so. Always dreary here and rainy.

@cperry2 I have woken from the sunshine this morning. I was happy to see it but after an hour, it was gone.

It normally is here too, but for some reason, we are being blessed with some sun and mild temps. But I see by the forecast today will be the end of it for a while. I am going to try to get the yard mowed today.
