Ryan and Sunflowers

I took a walk this morning to capture the last of the sunflowers in the neighborhood, and to reflect on the birth of our first grandchild, Ryan Elizabeth. While the sunflowers were amazing with their fall colors blazing, they paled in comparison to Ryan's beauty.

Welcome to this world Ryan Elizabeth. You are loved already by so many (including your admittedly biased grandpa Patrick and granny Kirsty)!

Peace my friends!

Whatcom Falls Park Walkabout

We went to Whatcom Park to check out the fall changes. Not much to speak of yet, but found it to be a nice place for a stroll.

 Sap on a huge spruce tree. It was running down the tree from about ten feet up to a pool on the ground.

 Very cool sandstone bridge across the river.

 There used to be a railroad line through the park.

Love the water and stone!

Looking forward to the changing of the leaves in the next few weeks.

Peace my friends!
