Green River Gorge and a Walk through Nolte State Park
After yesterday’s dreary rain I thought we might be trapped inside until next April when the rain should stop. Fortunately today was clear so we took advantage and headed out to the Green River Gorge.

September has been slow to relinquish summer and that’s fine with me. I’m enjoying the lingering sun and slow transformation of the leaves even as the days grow shorter. A slow walk into Fall at Coulon Park. ~ Susanne

Tree Art and Sunset at Seward Park
We took a walk last night at Seward Park through woods of Douglas-Fir, lit up by Maple. Near the lakeshore this golden Madrona was beautiful alone, shortly before sunset over the lake. ~ Susanne

Inspiration in the Clouds
I went to the park today and found everything and everyone happy and festive in the warm sunshine. There was the heavy scent of ripe grass evoking childhood memories and a little truck with its driver dispensing ice cream bars. Children ran and jumped… Continue Reading “Inspiration in the Clouds”

A Visit to Point Defiance on a March Summer Day
We looked for someplace new to enjoy the warmest day of the year to date – temperatures in the mid 70’s and it’s still winter! We didn’t have to look far; Point Defiance Park just 30 miles south in Tacoma, fit the bill. At… Continue Reading “A Visit to Point Defiance on a March Summer Day”

Winter Walk at Coulon Park
It hardly seems fair to call it a winter day, not with temperatures in the 50’s and the sky as blue as the lake below. And though the calendar does indeed say it’s winter I put on my lighter jacket and we headed to… Continue Reading “Winter Walk at Coulon Park”
