Aren't You Glad You Aren't A Those Rocks

January 9th, 2009


The pummeling you or I might take during a basketball game or polo match is nothing compared to the daily beating the rocks at the bottom of Snoqualmie Falls today, a day after the rains have ceased in Western Washington. As the rains have stopped the flooding has subsided, however, that does not mean there is no large amount of water, as the thunderous falls prove.

Raging Waters

January 8th, 2008

In keeping with the flood theme I thought it would be prudent to continue uploading some photos from throughout the day. After a brief break in the rain, it has begun anew. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all those stranded and in need. Please share your thoughts of these.

A Softness

January 8th, 2009

Tragedy has cascaded the Northwest for what seems like the umpteenth time in the last month. Record setting rainfall mudslides, avalanches has literally left the Puget Sound Region on an island, there the only place possible to reach is Canada. Driving to out of the region is actually physically impossible as of this moment. Here at A Watchful Wanderer we send our thoughts and prayers to those who are in danger. This picture was taken with emphasis to show the vast difference 24 hours as the rainfall piles up at an astounding 1/2 inches an hour.

Water 'A Risin

January 7th, 2009

In the Pacific Northwest, we are blessed with hundreds if not thousands of nature preserves and parks(top state parks in Washington State) to peruse and meander. This one (North Creek Park)is a favorite of mine not only because of its proximity, but due to its abundance of wildlife for its relative size. Ducks, geese, water fowl, beavers, and many others call this small parcel of land home, and offer an up close and stunning experience in the middle of the week.
