Between the rain storms I've been able to get out for some fresh air, brisk walks, and seeing the sights. Friday
Karen and I went to Seattle for her birthday. A stout wind greeted us when we got to Green Lake and set off on the 2.8 mile walk around the lake. I was stoutly winded by the time we got back to the car! What a gift this lake is to the hundreds of folks each day who run, walk, skate, push strollers, and ride bikes through the park in one of Seattle's lovely neighborhoods. We enjoyed the walk, the conversation, the sights, and this great old birch tree with its peeling bark.
On Saturday Tom and I took in some of the Camano Island Studio Tour, where we stepped inside artists' studios and under awnings to talk with painters and sculptors and enjoy their various mediums, styles, and works. We found these lush greens scenes on the island.
Last night about 7:30 we took a walk through our neighborhood. Here's what we saw:
And as I was heading off to bed, this is what I saw out my kitchen window.
