Red, White and Blue at Coulon Park
The bluest skies you’ve ever seen are in Seattle, especially in the summer at Coulon Park, my favorite place for a walk. In addition to the brilliant blues above and below where sky and lake reflect each other, I found red and white in… Continue Reading “Red, White and Blue at Coulon Park”

Just Keep Swimming – like the Salmon!
I wanted to share something for this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge, #Swim, but I’m really not much of a swimmer. (Don’t get me wrong, I loved swimming in lakes when I was a kid, and I still love splashing around in warm ocean waves… Continue Reading “Just Keep Swimming – like the Salmon!”

Synchronized Flying on the Cedar River Trail
Last week I took a walk along the Cedar River and shared the trail with ducklings. The trail follows the river on one side, and the Boeing Plant on the other, (the plant to me, looking like the Twilight Zone.) They build airplanes there,… Continue Reading “Synchronized Flying on the Cedar River Trail”

Clam Lights are Back!
Every year I look forward to the beautiful holiday lights at Coulon Park on Lake Washington, and we went down Saturday night to see them. The lights were gorgeous as always, but it was especially nice to have the clams running again! For many… Continue Reading “Clam Lights are Back!”

Here Lies a Tree
I’m thankful that none of the evergreens surrounding our house came down in the bomb cyclone. But in the park at the end of my street, a giant fell. A maple? an oak? I don’t know for sure. He was the tallest one on… Continue Reading “Here Lies a Tree”

There is still beauty
Yesterday I walked this path along the Cedar River in Renton, to get a final glimpse of the Gingko tree, which never disappoints. Red leaves lined the trail and carpeted the ground, with a few gingko leaves joining here and there. It was a… Continue Reading “There is still beauty”
