| Snapped at the start of today's walk. Green Lake, Seattle, WA June 12, 2019 5:38 AM Today is my 107th walk without missing a day. :-) |
 |
| It seems like I see more little goslings with every new walk. The bright yellow tells me they are very new. At Green Lake, Seattle June 12th |
 |
| More goslings ... notice the difference in color. My observations tell me the color slowly begins to change almost immediately and is very noticeable after about 3 weeks. At Green Lake, Seattle June 12th |
 |
| A trio of goslings! At Green Lake, Seattle June 12th |
 |
| Wispy clouds above made for an interesting sky this morning. At Green Lake, Seattle June 12th |
 |
| At the end of today's walk. Unusual clouds! I believe these are called Cirrus Clouds |
 |
| Late start, as usual, on Tuesdays. ***Blue skies and warm today.*** At Green Lake, Seattle June 11, 2019 11:21 AM |
 |
| At Green Lake, Seattle Finally warm enough for this to look fun. June 11th |
 |
| Giant patches of waterlilies with white blooms. At Green Lake, June 11th |
 |
| Unusual sunrise this morning. Thought it was really beautiful. At Green Lake, June 10, 2019 5:41 AM |
 |
| Before I had gone a few steps I had to stop and snap this. Can you see the rainbow effect on the left? Later, at the end of the walk, it had become a circle around the sun. See next pic. |
 |
| The "Halo" effect is cool ... I don't see it often. At Green Lake, June 10th |
If you're wondering, here's the link:
 |
| I almost skipped this pic but decided to include it anyway. This snap is through the windshield as I arrived at the lake. The tree right in front of me ... One squirrel goes up, one going down. I don't think they can see each other. They stopped long enough ... right across from one another ... for me to snap the picture. This is squirrelly behavior for sure! :-) |
On June 9th it was not possible for me to easily get to Green Lake for my regular walk. Why? Well it was the day for the Rock n Roll Marathon in Seattle. The race course blocked some of the roads I use to get to the Lake, plus, the race course actually went right around Green Lake. :-) So, to avoid the crowds I decided to walk 3 miles in my neighborhood. It was a great morning for a walk ... sunny and mild temps. I snapped the first pic at Kerry Park which is a well-known overlook for Seattle.

Hello, beautiful sunrises and sky images. The rainbow/halo is a pretty sighting. Gorgeous views of Mt Rainier. I wonder will the Expedia headquarters take away some of the view? Love the pretty rose. Wonderful photos. Wishing you a happy day!
ReplyDelete...John, you sure see some fabulous skies on your walks.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the Lake and surrounding area. Cute baby Honkers.
ReplyDeleteI grew up on the west side or we swam at the west side. We thought the eastside was the snobbish side. LOL

So many beautiful pictures John. I love those blue skies, also love the one with the cirrus clouds, but then, there's the Peace rose. You know I love roses and this one is a beauty. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures, and kudos to you for finding an alternative walk so you don't have to start over from 1 again. Those goslings are cute, but the newest ones look oddly shaped to me. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove the blues and greens of the lake and the geese!
ReplyDeleteThe city photos are beautiful!
You got some great pictures, John. That rainbow/turned halo is amazing-you got a good picture of it. Don't you just love seeing those baby goslings? I work with my son and we go immediately (meet in the parking lot) for coffee (drive thru)before we start the work day. Anyway, we have been watching this big family of geese everyday and the babies are half the size of the parents now. Today we noticed about 15 new babies all yellow-gold and so sweet looking. They are by the river and, sadly, not afraid of cars at all-I am always afraid I am going to see some of them in the road-but, so far, so good.
ReplyDeleteThe mountain pictures are amazing, too.
Have a wonderful night- it is pouring here and has been all day.
Your favorite photos must be sunrises!
ReplyDeleteDu är en uppmärksam vandrare John! Bilden på ekorrarna där den ena går upp och den andra går ner måste vara en särdeles ovanlig ögonblicksbild som du lyckades fånga i exakt rätt ögonblick.
ReplyDeleteJag gillar vyerna över Seattle med det ståtliga berget Mount Rainier i bakgrunden, så vackert!
Aaaah, love the little goslings, John. So cute.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
ReplyDeleteHow cherished and delightful imaged dear John!
ReplyDeletethis is amazing to get chance to wander in such splendid area and observe the stunning beauty of nature as well :)
in frequent and regular walks finding these adorable cute goslings must be a joy
i always find your sunrises and sunsets GLORIOUS!!!
So many great pictures. All the gosling are so cute.
ReplyDeleteLove those pretty blue skies.
Great view of Mt Rainier.
John, the fence on the beach that you asked about is to keep people away from the nesting area. An endangered bird, the Piping plover nests on Cavendish Beach
ReplyDeleteOnce again you've shared such lovely pictures … it's hard to choose a favourite, but your sky photographs are wonderful :)
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
