2005.12.27 - A walk in Soggy Marymoor Park
< Back to Currently
               
Its been raining here in the Pacific North West.  I can almost hear you saying, "Duh,  It's winter in the North West... what'd you expect?"  Well, that's true enough... but normally, its drizzly, misty, and gray, with a shower of "real" rain thrown in now and again.  But this year, at least these last few weeks, its been outright RAIN coming down... that's a bit different for us.

Anyway, the Shadow Lady and I took advantage of a break in the liquid sunshine, and went for a walk after grabbing a sandwich at Subway.

We came across a new piece of art - a PI symbol, named "PI in the sky III". 

I don't know what's worse - that its a PI symbol that's "Art", that you can buy it for $50,000, or that it seems to be the THIRD one this guy has made!!!

My biggest commentary on the "artwork" is that the ground was saturated when we walked out to it... we squeezed water out of the soil when we walked on it.

The Sammamish Slough, actually a river joining Lake Sammamish to Lake Washington, is running high, and has started over washing the lower areas of the park, such as this landing, which provided a fun distraction...

We're due for rain pretty much steady for the next 10 days or more... so this might be more common a sight...
