November 2012 was warmer & wetter than normal. The mean temperature was 46.9F/8.3C. The normal mean temperature is 45.4F/7.4C. The highest temperature was 64F/17.8C, the lowest 31F/-0.6C, a light frost on November 10. Total precipitation was 8.28 inches. Normal precipitation is 6.57 inches. There were 2 days with heavy rain, 9 days with rain, 23 days with light rain, 23 days with fog, 3 days with haze, 21 cloudy days, 8 partly cloudy days & 1 fair day.
Starting with November 2012, I dispensed with pictures from my own garden. I thought long & hard about how to replace them. I came up with the idea of urban landscape photos, which could come from any part of Seattle. I have spent almost my entire life living in large cities, which have also included Los Angeles & San Francisco. I'm keenly aware that the urban landscape includes streets, sidewalks, vehicles, advertising, graffiti, structures & other manufactured objects, as well as gardens & parks. Fortunately, the landscape of Seattle includes an enormous number plants & quite a few natural areas. My pictures now include the entire urban landscape.

It looks like a gorgeous day in November. Just the brightness of the blue sky lifts the spirits.
I absolutely love your urban pictures. We are so blessed in Seattle with so many green spaces as well as great architectural detail.
