A Rainless Saturday Evening in Seattle ☀️

My holiday season photo wishlist keeps growing—there are scenes worth capturing everywhere 🎬, but time always seems to run short. If only I could be in multiple places at once 😮💨. I have absolutely zero resistance to shimmering lights and colorful glows ✨, so after some deliberation, I finally chose to chase the hot air balloons at Green Lake 🎈. When I arrived, the lake mirrored the lingering afterglow of dusk, with swans drifting leisurely across the water 🦢. The balloons were just being fired up—with a gentle whoosh, warm light suddenly glowed, lighting up the smiling faces of onlookers 😊. So many people were dressed in Christmas sweaters and sparkling hair accessories, wrapping everyone in a cozy holiday atmosphere 🎄❤️. I wanted to quietly capture these lively, lovely moments but hesitated to intrude on the natural joy, so I simply tucked the scenes away in my mind 📸 (still a bit shy, after all). The balloons rose slowly into the twilight, like giant glowing flowers blooming against the darkening sky 🌅🎈. Light spilled onto the water, sparkled in people’s eyes, and drifted into the December breeze—in that moment, I felt that even if winter here is often rainy, evenings like this are enough to brighten up the whole season ✨💖. #SeattleArea #WeekendInSeattle #SeattleLife #SeattleHolidays #Christmas #HotAirBalloon #GreenLake #ArtOfLightAndShadow #SeattleWeekend #HolidayMagic #Wanderlust #ThatPNWLife
