Scenes from Skagit Valley, WA, USA

Snow-covered mountain peaks rise above layered blue foothills, a calm river flowing across the foreground and both leafless and evergreen forest lining the valley under a hazy sky.

Morning mist drifts over a calm river bordered by driftwood and leafless trees beneath a forested mountain slope. Sunlight filters through the haze, subtly illuminating sections of the trees while other areas remain in cool shadow.  The sky in the upper left corner is bright blue with white clouds.

Note the log piles alongside the river. Washington had an atmospheric river event that caused much flooding. The logs are debris piles caused by the flooding.
