A couple of years ago around this time, I started a project called my Year of Trees. I took a picture of the same street every week for a year, noting the changes to the trees that line that road. I really enjoyed it and a number of my readers did too, so I decided to reprise it. But I wanted to focus on a different area. So I decided to go to Marymoor Park, a large park in the area with a number of vantage points. I found two that struck me–so each week (unless I’m sick or other major factors intervene) I will be posting pictures of those two places, taken from the same vantage point. I invite you to come along on my year-long journey with me.
Week 6: We had a series of storms come through this week. They were supposed to be pretty rough, but we lucked out when the pressure didn’t reach as low as what they expected. But there’s a lot of debris on the roads and there were trees coming down on cars and urban flooding and even tornadoes that hit Oregon (a rarity).
I’m glad that storm wasn’t as bad as they said it was going to be.. I was worried over that one!
Fall always makes me melancholy.. it’s sad to see the pretty things die a slow horrible death.. LOL.. Dramatic, yes.. But it’s how I feel.
I always love the Spring, to see the things that died last year resurrect as beautiful and in some cases more so. I love the winter months too, if we get snow it is so beautiful, being from Alaska I can’t help but adore snow, I just wish we got the Northern Lights to go with it.. I’ve heard we get it here in Wa but I have yet to see any.. Maybe this year I will see some 🙂
I absolute love where we live. We are blessed by the beauty surrounding us.
