I’ve been taking photos out my front window this whole season. Yesterday, just before a big rain started, it looked like this.

Before the rain there were some winds. These pretty, late-summer perennial sunflowers were loving it.

The changing weather fronts yesterday created swirling clouds on a blue, blue, late afternoon sky. A Pacific Northwest cloudscape for you.

Rose gardeners PSA: If it’s going to rain big, go out there and cut your opened roses for bouquets. They’ll just get ruined if you leave them out there.

Rain is coming. Might as well cut roses and bring inside.

The other evening the sky was spectacular in our Seattle backyard.

Cirrus clouds usually mean rain in a few days, but not this time

On the way to Scenic Beach State Park Campground, this view near Seabeck was pretty scenic indeed. See the tiny boats in the distance?

Water, mountains, sky, with miniscule boats in the distance.

Don’t you love the pink clouds so much?

There were almost explosive cloud forms recently, with a crescent moon for decoration on the skyscape.

We are students of clouds and cloud cover in Seattle. It doesn’t actually rain that much, about the same as New York City per year, but we have more cloudy days than any other city, I’ve heard. So we look at the sky a lot to check if it’s clearing up. Or not. Loved these exciting, swirling clouds before some recent rain.

Happy Spring Equinox! We are blessed with sunny weather in Seattle this whole week. Don’t know why we don’t see more of these forsythias around Seattle but I love them.

Brilliant yellow and old-fashioned forsythia is the glory of springtime
