April 18 at Green Lake

April 18th, a rainy morning walk at Green Lake, Seattle ...

I arrived at Green Lake this morning at 6:31 AM.
The car temperature readout said 53 degrees.
Rain was just starting as I began my walk.

The rain got a bit heavier as the walk progressed.
I was reluctant to get the camera out but couldn't pass up this one.
Great Blue Heron at Green Lake, Seattle, this morning.

Linking up today with Thankful Thursday just to let everyone know I'm thankful for the variety of God's creatures and a beautiful place to walk not too far from my home. Many thanks to Michelle for hosting the linkup.

Near the end of the walk the puddles were filling up in the usual spots.
The rain drops ... are they messing up the puddle art OR are
THEY the puddle art?  :-)

    We have herons here too on the east coast. I wonder if they migrate that way? Could some of them be the same ones?

    I think the rain drops are some great puddle art. I love a good rainy day.

    The shot above reminds me it's about time to switch from hiking to kayaking.
