Around Town


Some of you know that I'm fascinated with the monkey puzzle tree. This one was by Kirkland's swimming pool. When I walked by the pool recently, something didn't seem quite right. As I looked around, I realized the monkey puzzle tree had been cut down. Nooooo! Why?????
All that's left are the stump and a few leaves. 
Interestingly horsetail plants are sprouting in that spot. 
It's a living fossil just as is the monkey puzzle tree

Coming down from the Cross Kirkland Corridor 
and heading toward the lake
The flowers are one of the most beautiful parts of 
our Wednesday markets at the lake

This year the market has many signs, yellow caution tape, 
and orange markers telling us where we can and can't go. 
Need to keep the numbers small and everyone at a distance. 
Ducks & sailboats on a windy day
The end of another day
 If you look closely, you can see the Olympic Mountains in the distance
Day is done
