Wispy clouds, Seattle, WAWhat an incredibly gorgeous day today was. Blue skies with light, wispy clouds high in the sky, with temperatures pushing up into the mid-80’s. As soon as I got off from work I made a quick swing through home to drop off my bag, then spent the next two hours wandering around, people watching and taking photos.

Summer is such a wonderful time in Seattle. Gorgeous weather…and gorgeous eye candy! ;) I’m half convinced that Seattle’s reputation as being constantly grey and drizzly is so firmly embedded into the popular consciousness that any time the sun even hints at appearing, everyone is so determined to take as much advantage of it as possible that hemlines raise, necklines drop, and as much flesh is bared to the sun as is legally allowed.

Then, of course, we end up getting day after day after day after day of weather like this.

It’s a good thing. Especially for those of us who have a predilection for wandering around town admiring the scenery.
