Helsinki saw a better side of us today!

Never been there, and feels like it's more comfortable there than here now. 89 degrees in southern MD.

90-ish here in inland Washington state - east of Cascades. But dry. Normal for us.

dew point 70%.

Increasing, and t'storms begin@ 2 a.m.

Dew point 58°.

Fire weather alert. 😲

I never saw baby ducklings fledge from a tall tree and baby bears were sooo cute. Lovely aerial scenery as well. AFAIC, it's a truly peaceful and beautiful composition.

Part of this piece was later prepared as a stand-alone, and lyrics written as a popular hymn. "Be still my soul"

The tune has also been used as a common one for alma mater school songs and performed by marching bands to accompany hymn-like lyrics praising the school. (words only) LOL, it's not DH's favorite tune.
