On my birthday recently we went hiking in a delightful piece of old forest right in West Seattle, Schmitz Preserve Park. So very beautiful, and the fabulous weather didn’t hurt one bit.

South of Seattle WA is a little city on Puget Sound called Des Moines. The locals pronounce the final S, not like the one in Iowa. They have a nice little creek that runs into the Sound and makes a wonderful rushing noise as it burbles over the smooth rocks in its bed.

I’m going to try to link this post to Water World Wednesday, Weekend Reflections. Have a great day!
