With summer approaching, Seattle’s weather tends to be very temperamental. Some days it will be wonderful, bright and sunny (which makes everyone excited and heading out-doors) and then other days it rains uncontrollably and then snows. Believe me, it happens. It did a week ago.

This last week the weather was incredible until the weekend started. John luckily had heard weather reports and knew that that was going to be the case so we decided th enjoy it while it lasted and on Wednesday we had dinner at Rosita’s and then walked down to Green Lake. It was a nice to have some alone time with John since this will most likely be the hardest quarter of my life, forcing me to spend less time with John and more time on my thesis…which will invariably leave me missing him all the time.

Anyboo, we went down to the lake, and found a posse of birds right next to the water which provided a great opportunity to take pictures. John really wanted me to the see the feet of this bird since they are quite different from ducks’ feet. I thought that they were pretty cool. Our opportunity for pictures was cut short however due to these snot-nosed little boys launching themselves at the birds and yelling hysterically. They so knew that they were ruining it for us and their mothers just stood by laughing. Luckily we got a fair number of good shots before the incident.

We were also able to get some wonderful shots of the cherry blossoms in bloom. I love this season in Seattle!
