Seattle: hey, we've got color too!

Sure our skin is a whiter shade of pale than the next person, and we might even get a sunburn if the clouds part for a day in February, but what we lack in good weather; we make up for when the sun decides to make an appearance. Here are a series of photographs (all taken within the past nine months) which best depict our city full of color, sunshine and happiness. As much as the country likes to poke fun at Seattle for being an unfriendly place, where it constantly rains, there could not be anything farther from the truth.

Splashes of color abound, sometimes you just have to look down.
