A Walk at Coulon Park on the Last Day of Winter
But don’t be fooled – we hit 80 degrees yesterday, the highest temperature ever recorded here in the month of March. What better day to take you on one of my favorite walks – at Gene Coulon Park in Renton, on the southern shores… Continue Reading “A Walk at Coulon Park on the Last Day of Winter”
Dream House at Tiffany Park
There once was a forest in Tiffany Park. The trees were worn and tangled yet full of life; native plants and mosses provided splashes of color. Deer and raccoon, owls and woodpeckers, all called it home. Dogs and their walkers visited daily and there… Continue Reading “Dream House at Tiffany Park”
Just Because I Love Sunsets
It was cold today – there were even tiny snowflakes at times. So other than a trip to the grocery store I put off today’s walk and stayed inside; until around 5:45 when I looked out my window and saw the sun beginning to… Continue Reading “Just Because I Love Sunsets”
Cedar River Walk and Some History
Even though we’re in the middle of a Seattle Freeze I’ve been missing my walks so yesterday we set out for the Cedar River Trail. We were greeted by other walkers including these ducks who were led by their fearless leader apparently looking for… Continue Reading “Cedar River Walk and Some History”

Blue and Gray and Cloudy Day
Earlier this week I found a break in the rain and got my walk in at Coulon Park where the clouds were awesome. So were the Olympics wearing both snow and clouds so it was hard to tell which was which. When I returned… Continue Reading “Blue and Gray and Cloudy Day”
A Walk in the Woods at Shadow Lake Preserve
It’s the middle of November and we have clear blue skies and fresh air in the Great Northwest. So if you can’t get out where you are, why not come along with me and walk through the woods at the Shadow Lake Nature Preserve? … Continue Reading “A Walk in the Woods at Shadow Lake Preserve”
Shorter Days and Early Sunsets
We gained an hour last night – which really means we lost it – and the shorter days mean early sunsets. So I took advantage of the break in the rain and walked to the park this afternoon before five. The clouds hung low… Continue Reading “Shorter Days and Early Sunsets”
Return of the Salmon
It happens every year in the Pacific Northwest. Salmon return to the rivers and streams of their birth to spawn. Three main species of salmon return to the Cedar River in Renton: the Sockeye, Chinook and Coho. The Sockeye is the most abundant and… Continue Reading “Return of the Salmon”
