a rainy seattle night

Alright kids, so the rain has finally started coming down here in Seattle. I say finally because, well, we haven't seen much rain since we moved here in September. For. Real. Hardly any rain. Tricky Seattleites want us all to think it rains here so we won't move. But i'm on to you, Seattle!


Anywho - the rain is here now and a quick look on weather.com tells me that it will be here for a quite a bit. I've got my rainboots ready and waiting!

I've been trying to take some pictures of the spectacular sunrise/sunsets that we've been seeing in Seattle these past few days, but it has been challenging to be in the right place at the right time. Also every time I see one, I always opt to smile contently and breathe deeply rather than reach for my camera. And when I do take a picture, I'm always unsatisfied with them because they don't quite do justice to the beauty of these moments. Phew, that was a lot! You can see why there's been a delay in showing you these :)

I'm also beginning to believe that that whole "it rains all the time" thing people tell you about Seattle is a total lie and trick to keep people from overcrowding this gorgeous town. We've seen 95% sunshine and 5% clouds in the past months. I have been completely spoiled by all these sunny days!

Okay, well despite my not being 100% satisfied with these shots, I thought I'd share anyway so you could see a bit of what I see. Enjoy and happy December!
