March 9 at Green Lake

Another cold morning in Seattle. Today's (cheerful) forecast is "Mostly Sunny" but we will have to burn off the low clouds and morning fog first. The walk went well ... 3.31 miles ... pace 18:11. I've got to remember the pace is (slightly) impacted by my stopping to take photos. Oh well ... :-)

A lot of ducks!

    Hello, John! It is so nice to see you with a critter post. I love your Heron, they are one of my many favorite birds. That is a lot of ducks. It is interesting to see the rowers, getting out on the water. Congrats on your walking, it is good to get into a walking routine. Walking is great exercise. Thanks so much for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. PS, thanks also for the nice comment on my blog.

    Since my heart attack a few years ago, I too have tried to get out walking in the great outdoors. I admire your determination. And enjoyed your photos. I'm a birder so appreciate your heron photos.

    The more you walk the more you will enjoy it. :) I find it doesn't matter how far or how fast you go but that you just get out and do it. I always like hearing about others walks. Happy Walking.

    Walking is such good exercise. I plan on getting back into it as well, once the snow and ice have melted off the sidewalks.I'm glad you take time to get some pictures.

    Such a lovely shot of the heron! So fun to live on an island, especially if it is off the washington coast. Such an amazing place
