Walking on a Carpet of Red – on the Cedar River Trail
I felt like I was walking on a bed of roses yesterday on the Cedar River Trail, but they were fallen leaves and just as beautiful. On one side of the trail is the Cedar River heading north into Lake Washington. From that vantage… Continue Reading “Walking on a Carpet of Red – on the Cedar River Trail”

Synchronized Flying on the Cedar River Trail
Last week I took a walk along the Cedar River and shared the trail with ducklings. The trail follows the river on one side, and the Boeing Plant on the other, (the plant to me, looking like the Twilight Zone.) They build airplanes there,… Continue Reading “Synchronized Flying on the Cedar River Trail”

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”

The Gingko and the Chickadees on the Cedar River Trail
I went for a walk on the Cedar River Trail to see the Golden Gingko in glory. I gawked – like I did when I saw it the first time, years ago. I stopped to bask in its color and admire it from this… Continue Reading “The Gingko and the Chickadees on the Cedar River Trail”

Surviving Spring in the Rainy Northwest
To those who just moved here let me say, it’s not always this bad. Yes, we get a bit of rain in the Pacific Northwest but sometimes it actually stops. Really it does. And trust me, you don’t want the other extreme – like… Continue Reading “Surviving Spring in the Rainy Northwest”

Golden Gingko
I first discovered the Gingko Biloba tree a few years ago when I was walking on the Cedar River Trail. Since then I try to visit each fall to catch it in its golden finest. Today was the day! 🙂 ~ Susanne

Tis the Season for Change
No I’m not talking politics though that works too. I’m talking seasons which always arrive just in time, none with more fanfare than fall. Still it’s a process as trees take their time to change color and shed their leaves. The Gingko Biloba wore… Continue Reading “Tis the Season for Change”
