Not long ago it was still full dark on my morning ride, but that has begun to change these last few weeks.
From the front of the boat, the morning’s first blush was lighting the clouds across the water. Oranges and fiery reds lit the sky before us in a beautiful display, above and behind Mount Rainier, rising from the far shore. As we pulled away from the dock, the sky gradually brightened until the mountain was backlight with purple and amethyst hues. Then we made our turn out of the channel to face the city awakening from the long night.
