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.

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.

Driving home from the middle of the state (WA), we saw a sundog along with the huge wind turbines.

Can you see the faint rainbow in the clouds?

At the Cove in Normandy Park WA last evening, the sky was mostly gray but quite beautiful, I thought.

This year the spring flowers seem even more spectacular than usual. Seattle does spring very well indeed.
