The sky’s been clear since first thing this morning. We mentioned the pink-lit Olympics on Twitter, wondering aloud about images; that photo subsequently was shared by West Seattle food writer Kim O’Donnel (whose cookbook-autograph session is mentioned in this morning’s preview) – thanks! Meantime, we realized this gorgeous bald-eagle photo hadn’t been shared yet:

It’s by Robin Lindsey of Seal Sitters, taken during a sunbreak earlier this week; she added:

On my sweeps looking for seal pups, I spotted this eagle perched high above Duwamish Head, enjoying the briefest glimmer of sunlight.

We have pups still using the beaches, including Queen Latifah, who continues to haul out on her City-side rocks. Her schedule has become less predictable, however.
