Despite what you might have heard, it does not rain all the time in the Pacific Northwest (our summers here are actually quite nice.) Why, in the months of July through September, we often have at least two or three days when the sun comes out and those of us who live here dig around in junk drawers, trying to remember what it was that we did with our sunglasses.
I joke.
Our winter season, however, is a different (grayer and wetter ) matter. It IS true that our days now are cloudy and rainy often enough that, when the sun makes an appearance, we PNW -ers do take notice.
A number of times recently I have walked into our kitchen and have seen wonderful light -- light that seemed worthy of a photographic journal notation.
Some people use a pen and paper to keep a diary, and I even know folks who make beautiful journals using watercolors. I, of course, have used a camera my whole adult life to record the News, and these days the news is sweet, welcome sunshine.
