Just another Walk in the Park at Coulon

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”

The Birds were out, and the Mountain was too, at Coulon Park
It was a gorgeous summer-like day when I went for my walk yesterday at Coulon Park. All the usual birds, along with their young, were out and about, too. I walked the paved trail along the lake past the sailboats, and the turtles, and… Continue Reading “The Birds were out, and the Mountain was too, at Coulon Park”

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”

A Special Walk at Coulon Park with Bald Eagles
I needed the walk. I was feeling a bit under the weather, and perhaps the weather was feeling a bit under me. So I headed to Coulon Park to be revived; it was cold and cloudy but not raining and the air was fresh… Continue Reading “A Special Walk at Coulon Park with Bald Eagles”

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

Guess who Dropped by the Lake Today? Think Seafair!
You guessed it! It’s Seafair weekend and the Blue Angels are in town. I caught them practicing yesterday over Lake Washington. Seafair was a backdrop to the Seattle summers of my youth. I remember lining up on 4th avenue in downtown Seattle where my… Continue Reading “Guess who Dropped by the Lake Today? Think Seafair!”
