A Walk through Time at Columbia City and Seward Park
Temperatures were in the 30’s today but skies were clear and blue so we bundled up and went for a walk at Seward Park. But first we stopped by Columbia City, one of Seattle’s old neighborhoods, full of charm and memories for my husband… Continue Reading “A Walk through Time at Columbia City and Seward Park”
Ready or Not
It’s 4th grade and I’m at the school that looms large in my memory. We’re sitting on the steps under the overhang of the building, a covered entryway somewhere between in and out. School hasn’t started yet and it’s almost 8:30. I’m with… Continue Reading “Ready or Not”
More Fall Glory in Purple and Gold at Soos Creek Botanical Garden
I don’t mean to overdo it with the fall themed posts, but glory surrounds us this time of year in the Pacific Northwest and after a visit to Soos Creek Botanical Garden yesterday I had to share a few more pictures with you if… Continue Reading “More Fall Glory in Purple and Gold at Soos Creek Botanical Garden”
All Ablaze at Seattle Japanese Garden

Cloudy with a Chance of Rain
The smoky skies made for some interesting sunrises, sunsets, and moonrises too. But after a long, dry, summer in the Pacific Northwest, it’s good to be back to normal: Cloudy with a chance of rain. Remind me in November. – Susanne
On Morning’s Orange Sun
The Pacific Northwest is once again under the filmy haze of smoke from Canadian wildfires resulting in unhealthy air. In the meantime we are awakened by a mysterious and brilliant orange sun. Can’t wait for the rainy fall season to begin. ~ Susanne
Tree Art and Sunset at Seward Park
We took a walk last night at Seward Park through woods of Douglas-Fir, lit up by Maple. Near the lakeshore this golden Madrona was beautiful alone, shortly before sunset over the lake. ~ Susanne
A Summer Walk in the Park
There’s nothing like summer in the Pacific Northwest and what better way to enjoy it than with a walk at Coulon Park on the shores of Lake Washington? Where sky and lake meet in perfect shades of blue and sailboats await the call. Where… Continue Reading “A Summer Walk in the Park”
