Seattle Sunday at Green Lake, winter cradling spring.
This view reminds me of Wendell Berry's poem: "We travelers, walking to the sun, can't see/ Ahead, but looking back the very light/ That blinded us shows us the way we came/ Along which blessings now appear, risen/ As if from sightlessness to sight, and we/ By blessing brightly lit keep going toward/ That blessed light that yet to us is dark." (Green Lake, Seattle--March 3, 2013)
We have a heart for this Green Lake tree, recently felled by disease. Since then, passersby decorate the stump with flowers, leaves, and poems. (Seattle, March 3, 2013)

A century ago trollies hauled Seattleites past the edge of town to Green Lake, for weekend getaways in the country. Seriously. (Seattle--March 3, 2013)
A long, long time ago dense woods--and a sawmill ready to thin them out--stood here, at Green Lake. (Seattle, March 3, 2013)
