Greenlake Was Beautiful

Greenlake was alive with color yesterday. Striking red and gold leaves lit up the sky, bringing smiles to the faces of our fellow trail goers. Took a little longer than usual to make the trek, as we (and others) stopped often to take pictures. Unfortunately, we only had our phone with us, so these will have to do for now.

Everyone from the impeccably fit to the man in his bathrobe with broken arm and bandaged face was out there. Even he seemed to be in a good mood.

Some folks jogged in their sexy little outfits. Others rollerbladed or glided along on shapely longboards. We walked with our dog Annabelle and lived both there by the lake and in our headphones with the soothing Sunday music of Arthur & Yu, Fleet Foxes, and Rocky Votolato.

We could lament about how that was probably the last nice day in Seattle for a while, but we know that's just not true. Even in the thick of winter we get the occasional gorgeous, sunny day when the mountains are bright white against the icy blue sky. In fact, tomorrow and Wednesday are looking to be quite nice. Why not duck out of work early and head to the lake? It's good for ya.

I don't know how much more Annabelle should be on Seattlest. She's getting a big head about it.

We've been blessed with a really nice autumn this year. Those tree photos are fantastic! I could smell the crisp air just by looking at them.

Tom, you're right. We had a relatively crummy summer, but this fall is coming in beautifully. I love walking around the mean streets of Wallingford, gazing at the old trees doing their thang.

Ha, is that bandaged man in bathrobe with open wounds and what looks like a frostbitten nose a regular at Greenlake? I saw him yesterday too. At least he's getting out...
