Seattle definitely has been living up to it's reputation lately. Rain, rain and yes, more rain. Our days begin and end with dreary gray skies. But all of that rain is what makes Washington the Evergreen State.
Sylvia @ Sylvia From Over the Hill and I spent some time together last Saturday checking out various parks and sights around Seattle. Mother Nature tried to dampen our spirits and fun, but we thumbed our noses at her and had a good time traipsing around the city. I can't wait until we have a nice dry and sunny day so we can visit some of these wonderful places again.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

The Queen Anne view is So Seattle. Enjoy the celebration. Congrats to your Sis.
We had fun anyway, didn't we? We had a beautiful day yesterday and it's supposed to be nice today as well -- but then you know you can't depend on not only Seattle weather, but the weathermen!!!

Gorgeous photos, Sally, despite the rain. Congratulations to your sister and I'm sure you cake will be delicious. :)
Beautiful Seattle!
Happy St Patrick's Day to you and congrats for the wedding!
Happy SWF.
Rain or shine, it's a beautiful city!
I confess, mine was taken last year, just at the start of summer. My brother in law was graduating from Seattle Prep, so we found ourselves up on the hill during a lovely sunset!
The rain is an important part of Seattle, but I am definitely looking forward to a bit of summer! ;)
The weather man is threatening rain here also. Although the Vermilon River may be just outside the rain area as we're colder. All that pure air... Ha ha. But you'll have the flowers earlier. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
You've managed to capture some beautiful scenes despite the gloom of winter rain. Enjoy the wedding!
Hiya,
Surprise button is fun.
Weather does look a little depressing, but not the images that came out of them.
Seattle's skyline is pretty even in the rain. But I DO hope the sun shines for you very soon, Sally!
I look forward to seeing photos of the wedding cake. (What a wonderful sister you are!)
same weather down here. a little break today but more rain tomorrow.
what a beautiful capture of teh skyline.
That looks so great!
Sky Watch Friday
Those skies look rather familiar, - never mind - springtime and blue skies are on their way.
I too am waiting for all the clouds to hide themselves. We had a little sun today, but wind.
I love the Space Needle.
Beautiful shot!
My entry.
The gray skies lend a tinge of vintage to your scenes! These could be postcards from long ago!
Sorry to hear about the rain, but the effect is lovely: so misty and soft! Lovely shots.
Nice shots
happy SWF
My Sky Watch Friday
That's the Seattle I love, and the view from QA that I regularly saw from Kerry Park, Thanks.
Seattle is a beautiful city even with the gray skies. Congrats to your sister.
Nice shots ... I hope I can visit Seattle one day. I believe it's a lovely place!
You do seem to get a lot of grey days in Seattle, don't you?
FOND OF THE SKY
To those who are fond of the sky,
The best things in life are on high,
Where sun, moon and stars
And Venus and Mars
Provide a great feast to the eye.

How great is it that you and Sylvia got to visit and tour her city together. Wonderful!
Thumb your nose at grey skies, that's what you have to do in the PNW this time of year I know!
The Kaleetan really stands out sharply in that photo. It's excellent.
AND enjoy the wedding! Hooray for all.
Grande nave !!!!
Buona serata.
Myriam :)
Hey Sally, We've had skies like this for months!.... Maybe you should concentrate on the baking while the weather is poor?.....:)
Great shots of a beautiful city! I've been there a few times and I don't know if I ever saw the sun for more than a few hours!
Have a great weekend!
