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”
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.

Walking into Fall at Coulon Park
September has been slow to relinquish summer and that’s fine with me. I’m enjoying the lingering sun and slow transformation of the leaves even as the days grow shorter. A slow walk into Fall at Coulon Park. ~ Susanne
After Yellowstone and a Trip Downtown
Back from vacation for a week now and I’m still trying to get into the groove. It’s a slow go. I’m plowing through pictures I took in that most beautiful National Park and enjoying them too but honestly, what shall I do with all… Continue Reading “After Yellowstone and a Trip Downtown”
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
