Color before the Storm
It’s raining heavily now, and more rain is in the forecast. Fall’s stormy weather is upon us. But earlier this week I returned to Coulon Park for a final look at the color on its famous boulevard. Nearer to the lake, there were other… Continue Reading “Color before the Storm”
The Salmon are back! Spawning in the Cedar River
It’s been a long, long journey for these sockeye salmon, but they have returned at last to their spawning grounds in the Cedar River. Not the greatest video but stick it out to the end to see the female lay her eggs. I love… Continue Reading “The Salmon are back! Spawning in the Cedar River”

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”
Take a Walk in the Park – at Gene Coulon Memorial Park
