Juanita Bay Park

   I've shown you the beautiful trail along the Sammamish River that is very near to our house.  Lee and I walk there often, but now that it is summer, it can be quite crowded, especially if the weather is nice.  We like to go once in a while to Juanita Bay, which is only a few miles away.  This park is at the site of an old golf course at the northern end of Lake Washington.  There is very little bike traffic, and it is far enough from the highway noise that you might almost think you were really in the woods.

It is delightful to watch these little guys run across the water on the lily pads.

For professional photos of the wildlife in this park, see Aaron Baggenstos, one of the fellows we have seen there with a large camera.
