Downriver River walk, Fort Wright Cemetery & sunset over Marshall Wetland

 Last evening we were driving as the sun set over the Marshall wetlands, the color was mind blowing, both in the sky and reflected in the water. Today I went walking along the river on what is the Downriver Disc Golf Course. There were some intrepid Disc Golfers out playing a round and they nicely agreed to have their pics taken. I swung over to the Fort Wright Cemetery because I figured the beautiful color of the trees, snow and headstones would make for some gorgeous shots and wasn't disappointed. The snow was early but hasn't dimmed the beautiful fall colors that are still around us. 

 

Winter comes early

 A record breaking storm hit the Spokane area on Friday-Sat dumping over 7inches of snow. This made for tough travel but great pictures what with the still beautiful fall colors and the white snow. The first group of photos are from the Columbia Plateau Trail out of Fish Lake. The rest are taken in the Marshall, Washington area, near Cheney.  It is supposed to warm up as the week progresses so the snow should all be gone by the end of the week. 

James T Slavin Conservation area in fall

 Felt good to have my feet back under me after a long layoff because of the broken ankle. Slavin did not let me down, there was a lot going on. The lake was just full of Pelicans, ducks, Herrons etc. The Pelicans are always exciting to see! A big mass of very white, large birds always catches your eye. There were folks walkin their 4 footed kids and a man had brought his horse in a trailer to enjoy the beautiful fall weather. 

Fall in Spokane & the 5th st Farmers market

 Went walking along the river on the Centennial Trail through Riverfront Park. I have never seen the river more reflective, it was like a mirror. There were a lot of folks out enjoying the gorgeous early fall weather. Many wore masks, some didn't. A street musician on a bongo type drum added some music in the background. We went to the 5th and Browne Farmers Market and met some really nice folks from K2 Greens, they are offering Microgreens and kits for growing your own, you'll have to check out their website, www.k2greens.com.
