Nice. Nearly every time I visit it ends up being sunny like California follows me up there, but I really enjoy the rain. It's one of the best times to look for critters like snails and slugs. If it wasn't so uncomfortable, I would love to see what happens at the beach in the rain.

We're supposed to get an entire week of sunshine... or what passes for it in late November/early December. Kind of a surprise in this "La Nina" double dip year, but I"ll take it!

Thanks Karen. I would certainly expect it to be raining up in Oregon. It's too bad I moved from there before I started my hobby of taking photos, but I'm sure to visit again and take some nice shots. :)

You're doing a great job of keeping me occupied on this rainy day!
