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”
Memories at Snoqualmie Falls
The day before the snow arrived – it seems so long ago – we went to Snoqualmie Falls, one of our favorite local attractions. The Falls are an easy drive from Seattle and a place to wow your out-of-town guests. Or to celebrate a… Continue Reading “Memories at Snoqualmie Falls”
Hummingbirds in the Snow
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”

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”
Lincoln Park on a Blustery Winter Day
It’s been raining like crazy the past few days and windy too, but when it slowed down a bit we took a chance and headed to Lincoln Park in West Seattle. This park has everything you’d want for an urban hike: old growth forest,… Continue Reading “Lincoln Park on a Blustery Winter Day”
Blue and Gray and Cloudy Day
Earlier this week I found a break in the rain and got my walk in at Coulon Park where the clouds were awesome. So were the Olympics wearing both snow and clouds so it was hard to tell which was which. When I returned… Continue Reading “Blue and Gray and Cloudy Day”
