Green Lake gardens

I was at Green Lake on Monday for a story I'm writing for Seattle's Child Magazine. I had a chance to stroll around the lake and capture some of the sweet gardens in the area.


There isn't space for such a path at our home but I'd like to recreate this lovely space on a smaller scale. It winds away from the lakeside path and back into a secluded spot that provides welcome shade on a hot summer day.
Another stop along the 2.8-mile path offers a place to rest against a backdrop of ferns, Dusty Miller and Daisies.

The army of lily pads is quite impressive. I only started walking Green Lake after having the little guy so I've missed this gorgeous display until now.

What a pretty path - I agree, I'd love to have such paths winding around my yard too.
