Anyone who lives in Seattle knows the rainy season is upon us. From Late spring to mid fall, the days are filled with beautiful weather. It doesn't usually get very warm and the skies are often blue. On these days, you can see all the beautiful mountains that surround the city: Mount Rainier, the Olympic range, and the Cascades. The rest of the year is usually drizzly and cloudy. Contrary to popular belief, we do not get a lot of rainfall. The annual rainfall is less than that of New York City. We just have our rainfall spread out 8-9 months in a fine mist. It is wonderful on the skin and it makes the cold temperatures not feel quite as bone chilling. Sometimes, mainly in November, we have tons of rain, sideways rain, because that rain is usually accompanied by strong winds. The play of light from the rain drops on my windows is beautiful. I captured that in smaller drops here.
Last night, the drops were large, leaving large splashes of light, like Christmas light. So beautiful!
The view from my apartment window can range from ugly, to highly amusing, to downright shocking. At other times, like last night, is is breathtaking. I love Seattle!
