Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage unless I pay them a lot of money. I’m slowly cleaning up many posts from this time period and deleting their ugly grey and black boxes with a ransom request. Such a time consuming bother.

Outdoor Wednesday this week is from my trip to the Seattle Area last week. I returned home to California on Sunday afternoon. I experienced all kinds of weather while I was in Washington.

The sun was shining bright on Friday. I was in the Edmonds area and this is the view of the Puget Sound across to the Kitsap Peninsula. The snow capped mountains are in the Olympic Mountain range.

Edmonds is also home to Rick Steves and his travel business.

On Saturday morning I met my walking buddies in Kenmore on Lake Washington for a 6 mile round trip walk to Bothell and back on the Burke Gilman trail.

Even though it was cold and misty I still got some photos in. I was happy to see this Robin.

The trail at this point goes along the Slough which connects Lake Washington to Lake Sammamish.

Just before I left for California on Sunday we got another dusting of snow.

When I was putting this post together and I was looking at the ones from our walk this song kept going through my head.

“All the leaves are brown and the sky is grey, I’ve been for a walk on a winter’s day. I’d be safe and warm if I was in L.A., California dreaming on such a winter’s day.”  Yep the Mama’s and the Papa’s were a hit group while I was in high school.  Anybody else out there remember listening to them way back when? I also got to go to one of their concerts!
