Autumn Comes in on a Cloud – at Coulon Park
After a very warm and dry summer, the rain arrived last week, the tail end of one of many storms that slammed the West Coast. It was inevitable and welcome. I went for a walk at Coulon Park where the beach was deserted. Billowy… Continue Reading “Autumn Comes in on a Cloud – at Coulon Park”

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 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!”

On the Street Where I Live
Some days I don’t feel like walking far; I just need some fresh air and beauty. Thankfully, there’s a park at the end of my street full of color. ~ Susanne

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”
