April 12 at Green Lake

Snaps from today's walk at Green Lake, Seattle ...

Crew at work.
Snapped this pic just after stepping out of the car.
Too much motion, I know. The camera did say, "Raise Flash" ... LOL

Introduction, in case you are a new visitor to this blog ... I'm currently in a little personal challenge to take a walk each day, snap a few photos along the way, and post them here on the blog, sort of like a journal. Today happens to be the 45th day I've walked the 2.8 miles around Green Lake in Seattle without missing a day.

As usual, at this time of day, the path is mostly mine.

Reflections ... again.
It seems that once the leaves are out these reflections
won't be so interesting. We will find out soon.

Notes to self ...

Little time for notes today, lots on the agenda. I will mention this ... The next section, Ship Spotting, is just another hobby. I do have a pretty good view of Puget Sound from home and like to snap pics of ships coming and going. Seattle is a busy shipping port. I really appreciate the way this hobby ties in with the Internet. I don't have any idea how, 20 years ago, I could have found out all about the ships I see. Now, it's a simple search.

Ship spotting ...


NOAA's Oscar Dyson spotted out in Puget Sound a couple of days ago.

From Oscar Dyson homepage:
Homeported in Kodiak, Alaska, Oscar Dyson is the first in a class of ultra-quiet fisheries survey vessels built to collect data on fish populations, conduct marine mammal and seabird surveys, and study marine ecosystems. The ship operates primarily in the Bering Sea and Gulf of Alaska.

  1. That rowing looks like hard work. I cannot wait until school is out for me. I will be walking each day, like you. Keep it up, John.

  4. I'm getting back to walking tomorrow no matter what. I have been not up to it the last 4 days with my chest cold.
    Good for you, 45 days is a great accomplishment.

  5. The trees are showing more and more green. It looks great. John,I'll trade you some of that green for the snow I woke up to this morning.

  7. You can guess that this prairie boy would like ships as we don't see any here.
