This overlook is right near my house. I have been complaining about the gray, wet skies, but when I see clouds like this I am content. And besides, as a gardening friend said, it’s great for weeding.

I like this one very much, even a week later (how quickly we move on!) and I’m tagging it Best Post of the Week.

Our recent getaway to Port Townsend had some fine photo ops. This view towards Whidbey Island was about as scenic as it gets, with pink sky reflected on water, AND a rainbow, in case the view wasn’t pretty or colorful enough.

We were lucky enough to be able to slip away for just a couple of days to Port Townsend, Washington. It was a first visit, but won’t be the last. The weather was alternately sunny and rainy, making magnificent skies and vistas, and even some rainbows which I will post later. This view of the Strait of Juan de Fuca is from the dock at Fort Worden. Back here in the gray, drizzly weather in Seattle, just looking at it makes me smile.

I was in a beautiful old garden down past Tacoma a week or so ago. The skies were amazing that day! My sky post for last week with the towering puffy clouds was taken that same afternoon. Cirrus clouds are some of my top faves, as they look like down wisps or cotton candy being spun, or, well, what do they look like to you?

The other day the clouds were just wild. I know it’s not safe to snap photos while driving, but sometimes it’s just imperative. I was blown away by the huge, towering forms in the deep blue sky. It looks like it was raining under them, but all was sunny and gorgeous where I was.

Finally a break in the gray weather. Had a moment to stop at the overlook near my house in Normandy Park with its vista of Puget Sound at dusk, my favorite time of day.

I know it’s bad to take photos while driving, but sometimes when the light is good I just do it anyway. Naturally I delete the overwhelming majority of the photos that result, but sometimes I actually like one or two. This is from a couple of weeks ago.

Last week when I drove up to the tulip festival (more tulips to come soon, I promise) the sky was very springlike and changeable, with sun on the buildings but such a dark sky, so I stuck the camera up and snapped. A little hailstorm hit soon after this shot.
