2 days ago, on Dec 20, Seattle got its first snow of the year. It didn't stick for long, but we got to see white snow covering the roads and trees for a couple of hours before the rain washed them all away. Now it feels more like the holiday.
The weather was surprisingly good today. It was a nice sunny warm (mon)day. Not bad for the start of the week. Hope the sun will stay for a couple of days.
Went to the archery range two weeks ago with a couple of friends. This is my second time trying archery (first time in Seattle) and I think I did better than the first one. When we arrived at the place, it was pretty packed. One guy helped out our group to get our bows. First, he made us do this eye check to determined which one of our eyes is the dominant one and told us that we should aim with that eye. No wonder the last time I did this, my arrows never landed onto the target, I was aiming with my non-dominant eye *sigh*. At least now I know :) He made us tried a couple of different bows and in the end us girls settled with the lightest bow (he had to make one for us too since there’s none available) and the guys with the heavier ones.
They gave us side-by-side lanes. It was a little bit tight since the range was full but they were kind enough to make rooms for us, so we’re grateful. The guy went over the range’s rules and taught us how the use the bows and arrows. After that, we pretty much just took turns and shoot. The first couple of rounds were hard. The arrows landed NOT on the target paper, but around it. But after half and hour or so, we all gotten a little better. Just need to practice I guess. We stayed there for about 2 hours until closing time. By the end of the session, I got used to the bows, which was kinda nice. Although I have a feeling tomorrow my arms are going to be sore like crazy. Nevertheless, it was fun.
With the rain and grey skies that greeted me almost every morning these past week, I think it’s safe to say Seattle’s summer is over and now we’re officially entering fall season. We really had a great summer this year. Sunny days, clear blue sky, warm (hot) temperature for about three months or so. I thoroughly enjoy those times while it lasted.
This year, my summer has been filled with a lot of traveling plans. I haven’t really had a chance to sort through all the pictures and videos that I took, but I guess now with the less cooperative weather to do things outside (the grey sky and rain always makes me wanna just stay home), hopefully I will have more time to sort through them. Will post more pictures soon.
