Yesterday, on our way to the grocery shop, we drove past glorious autumn trees around Green Lake. Its very rare to see great fall color in Seattle - it mustn't rain if you want the trees to develop brilliant color.
Later, I walked around Green Lake with a camera in hand. Admission was free - it only cost me a few calories.
Cascade in gold.
The bluer water part of Green Lake. Many other places near the shore had algal mats, which aren't photogenic.
On the trail, colors turning. Green Lake is considered "Seattle's backyard". I overheard plenty of gossip, and if it wasn't in Russian, I might have had chance in understanding it.
Even the wildlife got into the gossip act. What were the ducks and turtles talking about anyway?
This tree's fully turned.
Just to let you know you are firmly in Seattle.
glorious weekend

This is our first fall here, and I'm pleasantly surprised. I heard I would really miss the Boston area around this time ("This ain't called the Evergreen State for nothin'") but I'm quite happy with what I've seen.
