Lincoln Park

Some of the squirrels in the park are very people-friendly. If there is the slimmest chance of soliciting food from you, they will allow you to get really close. The oddest squirrel experience: A squirrel near Sabin School in Portland ran down the side of a maple tree and up to my grandson, who was walking next to me, and jumped on his leg, then ran off in haste. I have no idea what that squirrel was thinking, but it was really odd, this random squirrel attack on a toddler!

Fall Colors

Taken at Lincoln Park, near our home, in West Seattle. I found one tree that kept me busy shooting for quite a few minutes. It’s amazing the range of colors visible on just one tree. The process of decay is in stages that I find fascinating, but I am sure there is a rational, scientific explanation. I prefer the mysterious 🙂.

Beach

Partial view of the beach at Lincoln Park. If you click to enlarge you just might be able to see Coleman Pool at the point of the beach, surrounded by a white wall. Coleman Pool is unusual as it is filled with salt water that is pumped from Puget Sound. As children my brother and I would go swimming in the pool during summer, the only time it was open. The salt water was fun to swim in as it is more buoyant than fresh water.

White Berries Fern Red Berries

The fern looked like it was dying, which seems unlikely considering the climate we have here in the NW.

Fall at Lincoln Park

Drops Fall Lincoln Park, a city park, is only about 1.5 miles from our home. Most of the trees in the park are evergreens, however there are a few small groves of deciduous trees that really add some color to the park this time of year.

Odd Place for this

A children’s playground set seems like an odd place to make this appeal. Spotted in Lincoln Park, Seattle, north playground. Message

Large Lens, Painting or ?

Our grandaughter, Madeleine, standing behind a large lens on the playground set at Lincoln Park, near our home. This image, on one level, looks like a very old photo or painting hanging on a wall. Well, maybe my imagination is getting the better of me? What do you see?
