Musings on cats, travel, gardens and life
I was raised in West Seattle and rarely ventured into other parts of the City, save for the occasional trip downtown or jaunt to the Zoo. And so I’d never been to Green Lake until we moved to the north end rather unexpectedly (at… Continue Reading “Fall Walk around Green Lake”
I’m not sure what I was looking for by returning. It was years and years ago when I attended Frank B. Cooper school, kindergarten through 6th grade. But it was the school’s 100th anniversary and the building, now the Youngstown Cultural Arts Center, where… Continue Reading “Frank B Cooper School Refrain”
Last week we visited beautiful Sedona, Arizona, where Oak Creek runs through majestic red rock in the midst of trees ablaze in yellow and gold. All was peaceful and serene. And so for this week’s Photo Challenge I thought it only fitting to… Continue Reading “Serene Sedona”
