Calm Before the Storm

These photos were taken over a week ago.  The weather had been very cold all week.  When it is cold here we don't get our usual winter rains.

These photos were taken the day of the night we were expecting our usual winter rains, and warmer temperatures. In fact, they said a storm was on the way. Hence the title of my post.  It didn't rain or storm that night after all. In fact it took another few days before the storm arrived.  When it did arrive, it knocked out many power lines, shut down traffic on the mountain highway, closed schools in some places, and shut down many ferry runs between the mainland and Vancouver Island.  Fortunately my household was not affected.

The sky didn't have a lot of variation in it but the birds and mountains give it a bit of interest.

If you look closely to the right of the photo you will see four birds in flight.
This photo capture two birds in flight but they look like black specks.
