April 15 at Green Lake

Monday's walk at Green Lake ...

Sun is coming up earlier each day and finally getting a little
more light in the sky at the start of my walk.

Spotting the heron ...

One has to be watching and it helps to know the heron's favorite places in order to spot them for photos. Next 3 pics show what I mean. 

Only 1 heron spotted this morning and lucky that I saw this one.

Zoomed in a little more.
Now you see the heron, right?

Great Blue Heron at Green Lake this morning.

Weather notes ... This morning the skies were partly cloudy, the temperature about 44F, and little or no wind. After several rainy mornings, today was totally dry. And, yes, although 44F may scare folks from southern states, it's actually a great temperature when combined with the right clothing for a fast paced walk. I'm usually chilly at the start but warm enough within a few minutes.

Nearly finished with the walk around the lake.
These crew folks are dedicated!

  1. ...John, you sure get an early start! Now tell me, do you walk clockwise or counter clockwise?

    1. Thanks Tom, that's a great question. The paved path is divided with a yellow line. Signs ask walkers to stay on the side closest to the Lake and for people on wheels to stay on the side away from the Lake. The signs say walkers may go in either direction but that wheels should go only counter clockwise. I have read that people get upset by folks who don't obey the park signs, and, yes, it annoys me too. However, Park Authorities say the path suggestions are not legal requirements and enforcement is up to "peer pressure." How about that? :-) Now, to answer your question, I do walk in the walk lane and usually clockwise. :-)

  2. I saw the heron in the second picture but was sure glad you put the third one in to reassure me that I was seeing it. I'm watching the Notre Dame cathedral burning to the ground on TV. It's terrifying and emotionally draining to watch. :-(

  5. I suppose that one of these days you'll start your walk with the sun up!

  6. Hi John, how long is your walk and is that a circle around the lake? My Steve is very familiar with Green Lake, but I only know it from passing it when we went to visit his grandma. She lived on 11th NE in the U District. What a lovely place to walk :)
