One evening I was driving home from a meeting and noticed the setting sun was huge and very orange. I drove to a park where I knew I could get a great view. I wasn't the only one who stopped to watch this wonderful display of beauty. I wish the camera could capture the feeling of total awesomeness. Below - the sun as seen through the sculpture "Winter".
Marina Park is at the end of our street - in downtown Kirkland. These pictures show a rather quiet evening. Here's a description of what was happening on another recent evening.
We sat on a bench, watched the people, and enjoyed this beautiful spot - families were out. Children were chasing the ducks - lots of dogs of all shapes and sizes - a woman had a rabbit on a leash - someone played a mandolin type instrument in one part of the park. In another part, someone was playing a piano that’s in the park as part of a “piano in the park” program. An artist was painting. Toddlers were learning to walk. Boats were coming and going from the dock. Paddleboarders were sharing the lake with the boats. So much to see and enjoy.
Puddle Jumpers is one of my favorite pieces of public art in Kirkland. You can just feel children's joy. This sculpture is in Marina Park.
Our son and his sons boated over one evening. (His wife and daughters were at Girls' Camp for the week.) They docked at Marina Park. We met them downtown for a wonderful visit and dinner outdoors.
