rainbows and unicorns

This week, we saw a rainbow but no unicorns. But that doesn't mean I'm going to stop looking for unicorns. ;)

After it rains, when the sun comes out, we sometimes get the biggest brightest rainbows I've ever seen. Joe took the picture above when he was out on a walk with Bodhi this week.

It's so colorful and alive up here in winter. All the rain turns the hillsides a deep green. The creek is a beautiful turquoise. Soon the steelhead will be swimming upstream on the last leg of their long journey home from the ocean.

And sunrise the other day was really something else.

I made a couple of very colorful videos of it all.👇

I post a lot of videos from around the cabin on TikTok.

Say hi if you're there too.
