Often it’s just too sunny to go to the gym to work out. On those days Leslie and I often walk down the street to Point Defiance Park. It’s far too easy to take these woods for granted, but the other day I took my new camera with me because I was going to stop at the Rose Garden and check out the Dahlias.
Taking my camera made me realize just how beautiful the walk really, particularly when you’re walking through the deer trails,
which isn’t to say that it’s not equally beautiful on the well-maintained, main trails.
I’m particularly fond of places that make you feel like you’re walking through a tunnel, totally immersed in forest.
It’s clear that the designers of the Rose Garden must have been equally enchanted by the deep forest since they mimic that at several of the entrances to the garden.
The deep woods provide the perfect contrast to the brilliant colors found throughout the inner garden this time of year.
