The Pearl

Started sunny and mild, turning overcast and warm, and muggy, and ending in clouds and sprinkles.

Stayed later at work than I had intended and caught a 9 to Burnside, then stopped in at Whole Foods, on a vain hunt for pepper sauce. Then sat down on a park bench and sketched, using up most of my battery.

Cloudy and cool.

Sunny and warm in Portland. Growing hazy in Seattle.

Cool. Clouds and sun in the morning. Raining and hailing at noon. Cloudy, with spits of rain after that.

St James, Seattle

Cold and gray, with a gorge wind, in Portland. Sun over the Olympics, but clouds stuck on the Cascades, decapitating Rainier.

Portlland bus mall

Mostly clear. The sun rose low and far to the south.


At lunchtime I headed up to PSU for a lecture, but cut it a bit too fine. Luckily I was able to hop onto a streetcar and get there just a bit after it started. Only to find that the room was full.

But it was sunny outside, so I stopped to sketch some of the sculptures on the bus mall, then walked back to work.
