Blue and Gray and Cloudy Day

Tree Art and Sunset at Seward Park
We took a walk last night at Seward Park through woods of Douglas-Fir, lit up by Maple. Near the lakeshore this golden Madrona was beautiful alone, shortly before sunset over the lake. ~ Susanne

The rain finally came to an end, so I thought I’d try to catch tonight’s sunset in the park at the end of the street. When I arrived, I found blue patches of sky hidden under billowy clouds. It wasn’t long before pale peach… Continue Reading “Stages of a Sunset”
