The Rains of Winter Bring Spring Beauty

January 10th, 2009

Raining still in the world of Western Washington, however, immersed in winter, I can't help to look to the beauty of spring with all the rain and moisture we have been getting. I was up hiking near Snoqualmie , and couldn't help but just look at everything in amazement. Landslides were abundant, with downed trees and instant streams, which will be featured later this week.

The Color Steps

What color are your steps? I found these colorful renditions on the entryway to a local community garden in Belltown. There is no sign saying how long they have been here, so the age on these is unknown. I am looking forward to making a return visit in the spring time as the florals come into bloom.

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

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

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.
