Red and White for Valentines Day – Snow Crystals and Berries
Fresh snow is falling today, light and fluffy. It’s beautiful but it’s been a long winter and I’m ready for spring. Until then, Happy Valentines Day. ~ Susanne
A Special Walk at Coulon Park with Bald Eagles
I needed the walk. I was feeling a bit under the weather, and perhaps the weather was feeling a bit under me. So I headed to Coulon Park to be revived; it was cold and cloudy but not raining and the air was fresh… Continue Reading “A Special Walk at Coulon Park with Bald Eagles”
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”
A Riot of Color at Coulon Park

Coulon Park – for All Seasons
I took a walk at Coulon Park yesterday, before summer turns to fall. The sun was shiny, and the lake was sparkly, enjoyed by turtles and boaters alike. The Olympics were mostly bereft of snow, that will change soon enough. Mt. Rainier is never… Continue Reading “Coulon Park – for All Seasons”
Swimming with the Goslings
I first saw them resting under the tree, but it wasn’t long till they were heading for the beach, for a swim in the choppy waters, until it was time for lunch. Just by watching them, I was refreshed and renewed. Sharing with #SquaresRenew.… Continue Reading “Swimming with the Goslings”
A Walk with Ducks and Turtles and Eagles
It was earlier this week, silver and cold. The rain was over and gone, but clouds still filled the sky and reflected upon the lake. A flock of ducks swam together in a most orderly fashion, while turtles were out to catch some rays.… Continue Reading “A Walk with Ducks and Turtles and Eagles”
