When it Rains...

it pours.

Moony-eyed over Seattle
 I had an amazing time in Seattle last week! I returned home to Sac-town late last night, and today I am beat- super exhausted and taking a day off. Let me just say, when it rains, it pours- I've so much to share with you, but no time to do so. 

Tomorrow I hit the ground running, good stuff going on: I'll share with you sooooon as possible. Meanwhile, please enjoy some of my favorite shots of Seattle (the friend photos can't make it to the blog- out of respect for my pal's privacy- but let me tell you, the best part of my trip to Seattle were the wonderful peeps I got to hang out with during my visit. 

Seattle: you are a beautiful, beautiful town.

    Aww, I went up to Seattle a few times while living in Portland, and despite being one of the rainiest places on Earth, I always liked it!

    You look radiant in that first photo - natural and stunning!

    Welcome home. I'm glad it was a good trip--the colors are certainly more vivid and the sky clearer than the last time I was in the rainy city.

    Wowzers - just look at that sky!

    I grew up in the Swansea valley in South Wales - rain and coffee were the constants of my childhood so I reckon I'd love Seattle.
