In Seattle’s recent deluge of snow I found a moment to explore the frozen terrain.

No bees were present at time of the photograph. I was so stoked to look up and see this nest slowly collecting snow I think I squealed.

New snow cling to the side of a Western Red Cedar in Volunteer Park, one of Seattle’s oldest parks and my favorite place to play in the snow.

There are many many great things about the first snow of the season, not the least of which is the enviable opportunity to dress up like a cold-weather ninja. So I ninja romped around as the roads froze and the winds whipped the city like a sadistic dungeon master.
All the snow is melted but I have a feeling more is on the way…time to buy a new sled!




Best blog post title ever.
