I went Looking for Ducklings at Coulon Park …
I walked as far north as the trail allowed – some parts are under construction. The Olympic Mountains were out, and so was the Seattle skyline. I saw moms walking Coulon style, turtles basking, fishes jumping, but no ducklings. Until I passed by the… Continue Reading “I went Looking for Ducklings at Coulon Park …”

I’d Rather Be in Arizona!
Earlier this week I was loving springtime in the Pacific Northwest. I went for a walk at Coulon Park and enjoyed brilliant blues skies, happy birds, and a joyful turtle! And I thought to myself, ‘there’s nowhere else I’d rather be than here, right… Continue Reading “I’d Rather Be in Arizona!”

Looking for Red! A Winter Walk at Coulon Park
It’s been awhile since I went for a walk just for the pure pleasure of it while carrying my camera. So today while the coast was clear I snuck out to Coulon Park looking for red. All was blue and white over the lake,… Continue Reading “Looking for Red! A Winter Walk at Coulon Park”

Gulls in Gray and White – at Coulon Park
For this week’s Sunday Stills Challenge, I thought of ‘seagulls’ and went to look for them yesterday at Coulon Park. It’s one of their favorite places – mine too – and it was a beautiful day for a walk. They were out in great… Continue Reading “Gulls in Gray and White – at Coulon Park”

I took these photos from my front porch this morning, and other than tending to the hummingbirds, I’m staying inside till it’s safe to go out. And with that I’m signing… Continue Reading “Berries in Ice and Season’s Greetings!”

Surprise Visitors at Coulon Park – Snowbirds!
This week at Coulon Park I found two visitors among the Canada Geese. I believe they’re Snow Geese, perhaps blown off course while heading south for the winter. Or maybe they decided to relocate to Renton where temperatures are (relatively) mild year-round. I’d never… Continue Reading “Surprise Visitors at Coulon Park – Snowbirds!”

Home Again, Home Again to Smokey Skies and Fall Color
I woke to these views earlier this week – and returned to smokey skies and the worst air quality in the world. Yikes! Still, there was beautiful fall color to be found at Coulon Park in Renton before the storm hit. After the driest… Continue Reading “Home Again, Home Again to Smokey Skies and Fall Color”

A Background in Apricot
I love all shades of yellow and orange but trying to find the color apricot for this week’s Sunday Stills has been daunting. “Warm yellowish-orangish hue.” Well, I guess that nails it down! 😉 Here’s Benji willing the closet door to open so he… Continue Reading “A Background in Apricot”

Birds of Coulon with a Shoutout to the Coot
Of all the waterfowl I’ve seen at Coulon Park – the seagulls the ducks canadian geese and great blue heron. The one with the greatest numbers gets the least respect from me – always in the background and never featured. Apologies to you american… Continue Reading “Birds of Coulon with a Shoutout to the Coot”

Celebrating the Stony Walkers of Coulon
I love to walk at Coulon Park and no matter the season, I’m always joined by the stony walkers. Here they are on a sunny day, without a stitch on, but here they dressed for Valentine’s Day. Here they are on Memorial Day, and… Continue Reading “Celebrating the Stony Walkers of Coulon”
