I Hear It Rains A Lot In Seattle

Everyone says it rains a lot in Seattle.  People who live here know it just mists a lot and the clouds never break.  Seems to be a good place to grow moss.  On my way up Capitol Hill yesterday I came across this manhole cover.  I was looking for signs of spring – new flowers and plans and all of that.  I found some – maybe for tomorrow.  This seemed like more fun though; the cropping just seemed like the right thing to do.  Notice the moss though – you can’t keep a good moss down.

    Thanks for the comments – I’m sure I’ve seen those things a million times but when you’re walking around with the right camera lens, some things just pop out at you.
