YouTube Thursdays - Finding Rainbows in the Rain

By
Industry Observer with Nature As Neighbors

Join our GroupIt's the first day of Spring. Hurrah. Here's to warmer weather to those of you hit hard with old man winter of late. Today, YouTube Thursdays reminds you to take advantage of one of the most beautiful times of the year. Spring!
As you might guess, people tend to think the Pacific Northwest is always wet and gray. In fact, while we do get our share of rain, we also get plenty of sun breaks too. July, August and September are generally our driest months of the year.

Most of the time, it's easy to put up with the rain because of all the great beauty it produces. Lush, green forests, an abundance of vibrant flowers, sparkling waterfalls, and beautiful water-ways. And, those waterways give us plenty of outdoor fun and recreation.

Here's my Ode to Spring in the Northwest - Finding Rainbows in the Rain.

  

Spring ushers in the perfect season to create a video highlighting the beauty in your own city, state, or region. What makes the place you call home special? The video would make a great addition to your video library and helps so your passion for the market where you live and work. (Imagine one for each season)

Have fun!  And, be sure to add a link to your YouTube Channel in the comments below - hopefully, we can subscribe to one another channels, similar to Facebook Fridays.

Good evening Debb-the lushness of the Pacific Northwest more than makes up for a little sprinkle now and then-I envy your spring-we seem to go directly from winter to summer with maybe a few days of popping crocuses-oh well...Have a great week girlfriend and thanks for stopping by my Facebook page!

Debb- excellent video.  I could have listened to the rain all night.  This is the type of video agents should be making to highlight their area.

Debb, you are so good at this. You turned something that many people think of as a negative into a positive. Very nicely done.

Hi Debb - That's a great video. I have always liked the weather in the Pacific NW - at least it's real weather, unlike what usually happens further to the south.

I really enjoyed your video. The optics were perfect on that rainbow...

Sometimes my camera misses what I see!

Oh yes Eric. I have visited Arizona in the hot, hot summertime.

Joanna, it's only a few months out of the year when I get a little antsy from the rain - but then it stops and I remember why I live here. Lol.

That's quite a nice compliment Kathy, thanks.

Cheers to you Alexandra - I'm sure Spring breakers are loving that California sunshine. Thanks for watching the video.

Tammie, it's rarely a negative to those of us who live here - like anyplace else, we get stretches now and again when we start growing moss. Lol.  Thanks greatly for the very nice compliment.

Hi Dick, we do get variety. And, I do like weather extremes - storms, make me happy - as long as they're not destructive. ( I also love the weather in Colorado for the same reason - sunny and warm one day, th next day snowing - what's not to love?)

Thanks much Paul, I appreciate it.

High praise from you Anita - hey, aren't you supposed to be in England?

Aw, thanks much Joan.

Donald - almost? :)

Hahah Lottie - there are plenty of better videographers - and voice talents out there - doubt they need this one. Thanks greatly though.

Thanks for sharing your video. Have a most productive spring. 

By the way, cloudy days can be the best for photography.

We have some clouds ( and a bit of rain) the day my daughter was married - last August in Colorado - and our photographer said the same thing, Roy. :)

Debb, that has to be one of the best and timeless videos you've ever done. Just incredible. You've captured all of the good that Mother Nature delivers to us in the great Pacific NW. And that raptureous voice!!!!

You, my lake dwelling pal, are just plain biased. But, I thank you all the same. Hugs.

Great idea, I'll have to make a video showing of Spring. It is a bad time for outdoor video here in Ohio right now, the grass looks so brown and dead, hopefully only a few more weeks!
