5. Sounds quite lovely. I'm looking up at
a clear blue sky, peeking through some old-growth firs. It is still quite warm outside- unusually so for this time of year. It was nearly 60 today.

Especially in the autumn. I don't know what it is about Beantown, but everything just seems to explode into splendor in Autumn.

20. I know! It think some thing about the changing leaves
The red and brown seem to reflect the color of the surrounding buildings, making everything seem warm and cozy...

You're right! It is hard to describe.

17. I agree.....
Edited on Mon Feb-21-05 08:34 PM by physioex
It does bring out the color in the trees for some reason.

Plus I don't think of it as rain, more as a light drizzle.

21. New England is pretty green-Boston gets more rain than Seattle
we just get it in larger doses, whereas you guys have drizzle.

18. We've had less than an inch total rainfall this month
with none in sight. It's been blue skies and sunny weather, a 360º panorama of mountains, Cascades, Mt Rainier, Olympics and Mt Baker. :)

Of course we'll pay for it with a whopping great drought this summer. and forest fires. :scared:
