A Gorgeous Day for a Walk at Coulon
Blue sky, fall color. Olympic Mountains dusted with snow. Floating. Mt. Rainier looming. Ghostly. Turtles basking. Gulls resting. American Coots swimming. Cormorants sunning. Who could ask for anything more? For (almost) #Wordless Wednesday. ~ Susanne

Well, I’d like to, though I admit it’s not always possible! A major road near my house is lined with gold – gold! – the leaves on the trees form a canopy above and cast a glow below. How often I wished I could… Continue Reading “I Brake for the Leaves of Autumn!”

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”
