It’s time for some outdoor shots wherever you are. I happen to be in the Western Washington which is part of the Great Pacific Northwest area of the U.S.A. Thank you to Susan at A Southern Daydreamer for hosting this weekly event…
My girlfriends and I walked the Burke Gilman Trail on Saturday morning for about 4 miles and it was nice and sunny.
The blossoms are gorgeous and prolific. This tree was at Blyth Park in Bothell. So many blossoms that they look like snow when they fall.
The tulips are beginning to bloom, too.
My apple tree will soon be in full bloom. I’ll take more photos when more of the buds open up…
Hope your Easter week is filled with the wonder of Jesus and what He suffered and accomplished for all of us…
Photobucket is holding all my photos that I stored on their site from 2007-2015 hostage replacing them with ugly grey and black boxes and asking for a large ransom to retrieve them. It is a slow process to go through all my posts deleting the ugly boxes.

Ellen your photos are stunning. I especially love the one with the trees reflected in the water.
Gorgeous!
Could you still slip into your wedding gown and get pictures taken standing amidst the fallen petals? Wouldn’t that be a great shot?
I just love that first photo. It’s so peaceful and calm looking. And tulips are one of my all time favorites. I just love them. Great photos 🙂
Hello Ellen B.!
That looks like the perfect place for a long walk (4 miles is long to me ;-). Is it cold there? We’re experiencing weather in the 60’s and I’m loving it!!!
I hope you have a beautiful week filled with lots of wonder and blessings!
love, cori g.
gorgeous…I think I’m going to LOVE that you are back full time…a whole new set of gorgeous images of Washington to enjoy.
Yeah, spring has sprung! That walk looks a lovely trail!
What a lovely walk! Everything is so spring-beautiful!
Wow 0 what a beautiful way to go walking! 🙂 Love those tulips!

Spring is the most beautiful season in the PNW!

The flowers are gorgeous and your photos are beautiful. I love the reflection of the trees on the water…..Christine
Gorgeous photos! What a nice hike you ladies had.
How old is your apple tree? We’ve been thinking of planting a few.
I hope you’ll drop by AtticMag to see the butterflies I found. #8 on Outdoor Wednesday.

You did an outstanding job on capturing all that beauty and having fun at the same time. Nice post.
Ellen, these beautiful blooms are great welcome of spring and hope. Have yourself a wonderful Easter week basked in the warmth of God’s love.
You northwesterner are making me feel like I live on the wrong side of the continent! Very beautiful, Ellen!
These are SO beautiful! What a fabulous day you must have had with your friends. I can hear all the ooo’s and ahhhhh’s! Beautiful post, Ellen!

Springtime is just sooo BEAUTIFUL there, Ellen… thank you for this lovely walk-about. :o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
The Lord provides such beauty for us to behold His Glory.
Thank you for your photos for people from all over to see.
Here is NC this year, it is just starting. The beauty of the
Pacific Northwest is breathtaking…..Some day I hope to
be out there for a visit to take in all the majesty He provides
to the people there.
Have a blessed Resurrection Day, Ellen!
Hello Ellen,
Fabulous shots! What a lovely day you must have had with your friends. Your apple tree looks like it is going to be gorgeous when all the buds open.

Breathtaking garden flowers. The tulips are stunning. The blossoms are so beautiful on the trees along with the petals on the ground.
Glorious views, Ellen. Just glorious.
ooo tulips and daffodils!!!! ooooooooo!!
What delightful Spring views from your walk … so lovely! I enjoyed your RUBY glass tulips and vases. Your Goldilocks post brought back memories of my folks seeking a new church home when we kids were teenagers.
Hugs and blessings,
