Light, Water, Nature - Beauty


We never get tired of the beauty surrounding us. The way the light plays off the water and mountains is wonderful to behold

These pictures are from an evening at Juanita Bay Park and then the sunset we stopped to watch on the way home (February 15). Be sure to click on one of the images so you can see larger sizes. 
In the late afternoon light, these bushes looked to be on fire!
This willow tree will soon be leafing out

Don't know what animal made these holes & hills of dirt. 
The results of the critters' work could be seen all over the park.
Moss grows everywhere - not just on one side of trees
This bush was blooming already. These tiny blossoms gave out a beautiful scent that could be smelled several feet away.
These prickly wild rose branches will soon be covered with leaves and fragrant roses
The birds left these berries. 
Either food was plentiful or the berries aren't very flavorful.
Blossoms already - February 15!
Late afternoon light on the lake at Juanita Bay Park

This single family mansion is being built just a few blocks from downtown Kirkland, on the edge of Heritage Park overlooking Lake Washington. Most houses in Kirkand are much more modest than this!
Olympic Mountains in the distance. Often it's difficult to tell where the snow-capped mountains end and the clouds start. 
Downtown Seattle is to the left of the setting sun. It's interesting how the setting sun reflects off the buildings of downtown Seattle. It's like watching a light show.
