A Competition Between the Blue Heron and the Bald Eagle – at Coulon Park
Every visit to Coulon Park is wonderful but there is always something new! Today’s weather was perfect for walking and the brilliant blue skies were reflected in the waters of Lake Washington. Sailboats were lined up as usual and ready to go. Turtles were… Continue Reading “A Competition Between the Blue Heron and the Bald Eagle – at Coulon Park”
Memories in Bremerton and a Ferry Ride to Seattle
We were looking for a way to spend a sunny spring day and settled on a drive to Bremerton, where we’d visit the Navy Museum and take the ferry back to Seattle. The day would trigger long forgotten memories that I will share with… Continue Reading “Memories in Bremerton and a Ferry Ride to Seattle”
Goodbye to Snowmageddon
It’s finally time to say goodbye – and some may say good riddance – to February and Snowmageddon. But before I do, I thought I’d share a few more pictures from our epic snowy February here in the Great Northwest! Yes, it was inconvenient… Continue Reading “Goodbye to Snowmageddon”
A Walk through Seattle’s Chinatown
Okay so maybe it’s not San Francisco but it’s authentic and it’s ours and it’s still the best place for real Chinese food in Seattle. When you work downtown you’ll likely make the walk there for somebody’s birthday lunch; or like I did recently,… Continue Reading “A Walk through Seattle’s Chinatown”

Yesterday I went looking for ‘Red” for a photo challenge – I guess I could have waited and included these pictures from this morning too. As you probably know by now we are in the midst of Snowmageddon here in the Pacific Northwest with… Continue Reading “Hummingbirds in the Snow”
Cedar River Walk and Some History
Even though we’re in the middle of a Seattle Freeze I’ve been missing my walks so yesterday we set out for the Cedar River Trail. We were greeted by other walkers including these ducks who were led by their fearless leader apparently looking for… Continue Reading “Cedar River Walk and Some History”
A Few Days in Juneuary
While other parts of the country are being hammered by winter storms, here in the Pacific Northwest we are enjoying a few more days of Juneuary. While not appreciated when experienced as a cold and rainy June, Juneuary is quite wonderful when it brings… Continue Reading “A Few Days in Juneuary”
Lunar Eclipse 2019
I have always enjoyed watching the night sky and relish the opportunity to see an eclipse. I wasn’t sure the weather would cooperate but the sky was mostly clear so I went outside to watch the event. I was joined by two cats who… Continue Reading “Lunar Eclipse 2019”
The Rain, the Park and Other Things
I’m borrowing the title for this post because it fits and if you don’t know it’s a song that’s okay too – I guess I’m showing my age. It’s been a rainy week in the Great Northwest but what else can you expect in… Continue Reading “The Rain, the Park and Other Things”
