Autumn In Green Lake

Editor’s note: Greenlaker Karl sent us these photos from his frequent visits to Green Lake. We loved the colors – and those cairns on the north side of the lake. Thanks for the photos and cool description Karl! 

Autumn is falling more slowly than usual in Seattle (although it feels a bit like winter). The fir-like cypresses and other “tamaracks” around Green Lake turn rusty and shed their needles. Plus, lots of our seasonal resident ducks, coots and cormorants are returning; and the north-side cairn builder is back.
