My Memories

The Seattle cloud cover was one of my favorite art work to gaze at from the Vivarium. I could see the cloud cover from the back entrance. In the fall and more so in the winter the vivarium is a very cold place to be in. The Vivarium had to maintain the outside temprature . We would wear several layers of clothing to keep warm. The sky was always cloudy and grey. During these days I would walk towards the back entrance and look up at the Seattle cloud cover only to see a tiny patch of color within the grey sky. I could not believe the amount of happiness I got just by seeing the color. Very rarely on a clear day when the sun was just behind the Seattle cloud cover there would be a burst of colors and it was spectacular.I never knew how much color could influence the way we feel until I saw Seattle cloud cover from the vivarium.
