Do you mean in general (east of Seattle), or specifically (little bridge in DennyO Park just off of Holmes Point Drive, and the second one just off the side of the road around Juanita Beach, just about to head up Market Street towards Kirkland. With fall in full swing, enough leaves have fallen to create a nice little view of the lake, so I stopped for an iphone pic.
And here’s another I like, from last spring, don’t know if I posted before or not... on the Seattle side of the lake looking south from Seward Park with Mt. Ranier in the background...

Yes... just an unidentified girl with her bike sitting under a tree on a nice day enjoying the view. It doesn’t rain “all the time” in Seattle. Thought it made a nice shot so I stopped to take it. Hope to do more “photo rides” in the future. The photos from the likes of Kingtom, Lacoon, Basilic and others are inspiring. This thread deserves more posts and more attention.

Lacoon,

Beautiful pictures, per usual. And it looks like your significant other is back from injury. :thumbup:

I know, a little artsy for sure, but at least a disc wasn’t blocking the view. I kid, I kid Image
