Carkeek Park Pond and Nature Trail

Located on Puget Sound, Carkeek Park has some interesting trails and wetlands to observe nature. Over the next few days I will be posting some of the things I encountered while in the park with the students of Whitman Middle School.

Mood on the River

A section of blue sky reflected in the river. The mood along the river seemed to change suddenly.  A partially cloudy morning turned into a steel-gray morning with the wind causing ripples on a calm river. Despite a few garbage cans close by  trash seems to accumulate. To me the cement blocks are more of a reminder of an earlier time when pollution of every sort could be found in and around the Duwamish River.
