Port Ludlow view

Our little getaway to Port Ludlow WA last week had mostly sunny weather, but even the gray skies were scenic in this view of Puget Sound.

Rain coming

We are students of clouds and cloud cover in Seattle. It doesn’t actually rain that much, about the same as New York City per year, but we have more cloudy days than any other city, I’ve heard. So we look at the sky a lot to check if it’s clearing up. Or not. Loved these exciting, swirling clouds before some recent rain.

Dark sky at the overlook

A striking sky and water scene, just for a moment, at the overlook near my house. Actual color of the image!

Looks like rain is coming, from the overlook of Puget Sound at Normandy Park WA

Snow on cedar tree

We have a huge cedar tree in out backyard. Here it is in the heavy, wet snow that fell, before it all started to melt. Bonus image below: our front yard. You can see that there is even snow accumulated on the power lines, but it was already starting to fall off.

Heavy snow decorated this 300-year old cedar tree

Snow briefly covered everything, even the power lines

Snow scene

It hasn’t snowed this year yet, but I thought I’d post this scene of my back yard from a few years back, before a house was built beyond the fence. Scenic to the max!

White rose macro: color and black-and-white

The name of this rose is Honor. The late afternoon light was so beautiful this evening.

And here it is in black and white. I always have such resistance to letting the color go. Which is more thrilling?
