Shorecrest softball field

The softball field at Shorecrest High School. I spent many chilly evening hours in those bleachers. Many recent improvements to this field including the artificial turf infield and the rebuilt dugouts for the teams. Even a concession stand. The field is located up at the crest of the hill before it drops into Hamlin Park and the state Fircrest facility. You can't see the field from the north parking lot. You have to trudge up to see what's going on.

Girl Scout Cookie Time

It's Girl Scout Cookie time in Lake Forest Park and throughout western Washington. Be sure to take advantage of the opportunity to purchase cookies directly from girl scouts at the several site sale locations in the area covered but the Shoreline Service Unit (which include Lake Forest Park).

First daffodil

Some signs of spring in Lake Forest Park. As I mentioned in my main blog, spring is a long long season here, you can expect to see recent spring pictures for months and months. This daffodil opening it's bright yellow bloom in my front yard. Right now.

Play Equipment at Horizon View Park

Horizon View Park up on the hill near the reservoir. I went up here this March noon time looking for my first letterbox (which I found!). Shadow, my elderly dog, accompanies me (she's very pleased about this!). Small playground, raining a little but quite pleasant.

Trying to be spring in Horizon View

View through some older trees over the roof tops in the Horizon View section of Lake Forest Park over the territorial view across the north end of Lake Washington through Kenmore and Bothell onto the territory towards the Cascade foothills. Took this picture a few weeks ago on a very chilly windy afternoon.

These trees are trying, trying to blossom. Don't know if I could find them again to see their progress....

Gary paying his library fines

One day last week, I was at the mall getting my watch fixed and I took some pictures. Ran into my friend Gary and chatted with him. I snapped this picture as he paid his library fines at the Lake Forest Park branch in the mall. Teased him that I was going to put the picture on my blog. He laughed and said he wanted a share of the royalties.

March 2008 Theme Day - Graffiti/Street Art

I haven't quite figure out how to sign up to be in this group. But I can certainly participate. With Lake Forest Park, there's not a lot to work with, less than 4 square miles. I think this can qualify.

What are these things anyway? I really don't know. On the sidewalk at Lake Forest Park mall on the upper level. A few years ago, I came upon an artist painting these structures/ Maybe there are only two, you can see the second in the background. Some pretty pictures of flowers and a butterfly. Is that a squirrel. Bird theme in the background
