A Late Fall Walk at Seattle’s Seward Park
After a record dry November the rain has finally returned to the Pacific Northwest but mainly as drizzle and not enough to keep us housebound. And so with umbrellas in hand we headed for a walk at Seward Park, a jewel in the crown… Continue Reading “A Late Fall Walk at Seattle’s Seward Park”
Life and Maintenance in the December Garden
While the rest of the country has been hammered by winter, here in the Great Northwest I’m still working in the fall garden. Nothing major of course, just the ordinary maintenance that life requires. Our home is surrounded by evergreen trees – mostly Douglas-Firs… Continue Reading “Life and Maintenance in the December Garden”
Walking in a Winter Wonderland
The day after Thanksgiving we went for a drive to Federation Forest and found the evergreens dusted with snow. It was an unexpected but pleasant surprise. It was also a surprise to find the gate to the park locked. But no matter; we left… Continue Reading “Walking in a Winter Wonderland”

Windshield Art and Shaved Ice
As I pulled out of my driveway I noticed the leaves on my windshield. Windshield art I thought. I stopped by the park at the end of my street where one of the tree tops was a symphony of color. Hawaiian shaved ice I… Continue Reading “Windshield Art and Shaved Ice”
Textures of Coulon Park
I went to the park with textures in mind and this is what I found. For Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge, ‘Textures.’ ~ Susanne
Stalking the Hummingbirds
They don’t seem to mind. I hide behind a nearby tree and wait for them to appear. Sometimes I wait in vain and when I return to the house they come and feed. So who’s watching who? Occasionally they indulge my passion – as… Continue Reading “Stalking the Hummingbirds”
