magnuson park & the arboretum

took a stroll through both Magnuson Park and the Arboretum today.  snapped a couple selfies as well as lots of photos of everything that is blooming right now as well as a bit of wildlife.  we saw dragonflies, frogs, snakes, birds, bugs, and a turtle!  the weather started out slightly foggy and cool but ended up almost muggy.  it was a good day to wear my new summer dress so I was happy.  here are some photos from the two parks, enjoy~

my favorite trees in the arboretum. some kind of cherry. awesome bark!

we saw snakes too~

all the duckies came over to have their photo taken

and we saw this turtle sunning himself on this rock

shots from Magnuson Park

I wanted to share some shots from my trip to Magnuson Park yesterday and since my 365 project is coming to a close (yay!!!) I'm looking forward to my blog becoming more about all the fun extras that I like and want to post but don't want to clog my flickr stream with all at once. 

Magnuson Park is an awesome park. it's big enough to get lost in but close enough to go every week if you wanted.  it's got hills and grasslands, and bogs and sculptures and lake and trails and... just everything.  :)  I swore my love for the park and promised to come back more often. 

here are a few more shots, hope you enjoy~

afterward we went for a drink.  ;-P
