A sturdy piece of driftwood at Fay Bainbridge State Park provided a front row seat for yesterday’s intense, beautiful rain and hail storm.
The park was empty save a family and a convocation of Eagles. The rain and hail chased the humans into a shelter for a picnic during the show while the Eagles perched high above in the pines.
After the storm abated, I packed up and headed down to Murden Cove for a soggy walk in the rain while taking in the views of Seattle and Yeomalt Point.

Wow, Nature Guy! Yes, I am calling you Nature Guy now, due to your weather report and 360 beach view and park info! This report is very thorough, with maps, links and even a rain video.
Hehe!
Sitting on that piece of driftwood, watching the storm and listening to the sounds was inspirational!
I hope you are well!
It occurs me I’ve yet to use “convocation” in my lifetime and I don’t know why because it’s a great word and I even know what it means. Nice images, Samantha. The boys and I got socked by that rain and hail at the Fremont Solstice (Oliver Fern ended up with a very soggy corn dog). Hope you are well, too.
When I was a kid I was obsessed with collective nouns!
Thanks for the kind words on the photos, much appreciated!
I was thinking about the Solstice Parade on Saturday… yeeouch! I hope you and the boys had fun despite the weather!
Take good care!
