Last Thursday October 5th we picked up our daughter and drove a couple blocks to Magnuson Park for a walk. Dear and Katie always have lots of information to exchange with each other.
Magnuson Park is a 350 acres park on Sand Point at Pontiac Bay, Lake Washington, in the Sand Point neighborhood of Seattle, Washington. The park is the second largest in Seattle, after 534 acres Discovery Park in Magnolia.
Established in 1900 (military use 1922-1975).
I have three previous posts about this park here and here and here.
There were a great variety of reflections to take photos of on this fall day.
On our way back to the car we walked out on the dock and I took this photo of our shadows on the lake surface.
Sharing a little bit of Seattle with Our World Tuesday. Click away and see other parts of our world.
Speaking of our world we got word that family and friends had to be evacuated in Anaheim Hills, Orange Park Acres, North Tustin and East Orange areas of Southern California today due to fires. Praying for containment and for all who are fighting the blazes. Also for those who had to leave their homes. There are fires in the Northern part of California in Santa Rosa and other parts of the wine country. Sure hope there’s containment soon.

Honestly what else could happen this summer? We have friends in Santa Rosa and haven’t heard anything from her yet….. so frightening.
We’ve visited Discovery Park several times but did not know about Magnusson ; it looks equally wonderful! And a walk with a daughter is special -(we’re both thinking along those lines today’s posts) ..
Beautiful shots from nature.
Looks like such a nice peaceful walk! Prayers for your family and friends who have evacuated.💗
Beautiful colored reflections in the water and those little blue flowers make a perfect contrast.
Great place for a walk Ellen. Beautiful area and super photos. The fires have been on my mind today. Heart goes out to everyone out there.
What a lovely area!
Such a lovely park in which to walk and enjoy nature!
That is a gorgeous park!
So sad about the fires.
Very pretty pictures, Ellen. I’ve been watching the fires on tv and my heart goes out to everyone. Joining you in prayer.
Hello Ellen, looks like a great spot for a walk with your family. The reflections are beautiful. It is sad about the fires, I will keep your family and friends in my prayers. Happy Tuesday, enjoy your day!
…what a neat part of your world!
A wonderful park to explore! I love those reflections!
So much fun to get outside and explore together in such a lovely setting! Praying for the horrible fires in CA! I hope your friends are safe!
Beautiful scenes!
