This summer was different than many others. There was no international travel due to the COVID pandemic. It was a peaceful summer, mainly at home.

Kubota Garden – A Kubota kert
A visit to this beautiful and peaceful garden in South Seattle was on my list for a long time. Today this wish has finally been realized.
A Seattle walk: a creek and a pond – Séta Seattle-ben: egy patak és egy tavacska
What to do on a day for which you planned a hike, but you realized in the morning (mid-morning) that there might not be enough time to get out from Seattle because you got up late?
January morning stillness – Egy januári reggel nyugalma
Cold, frosty, frozen. Lots of gray, mixed with some white.
Wintry walks in my village – Téli séták falunkban
It’s good for my soul when I visit my little village, Pozba, in Slovakia. In 2019, after many summer visits, it was time to see the familiar places of my childhood in the winter.
Snowy January snapshots – Havas januári pillanatképek
Halloween
late October + neighborhood walks = spooky surprises
What a view! Seattle’s Kerry Park – Micsoda kilátás! A Kerry park Seattle-ben
Do you want the most breathtaking view of Seattle? Go to Kerry Park on top of Queen Anne Hill. It’s popular both for visitors and residents in any season, but especially on sunny days.
California weekend – Kaliforniai hétvége
After our busy end of September workdays, Steve and I took a quick trip to visit our family in the sunny Sacramento area.
Snowmen – Hóemberek
Look whom I met today around Green Lake! Some were standing on the shore, others were sitting on benches, and there was one who was already defeated.
Walk around Green Lake in the winter – Téli séta a Green Lake tó körül
This morning, walking around the lake meant walking in the snow. Winter walks in Seattle usually don’t involve snow – rain mainly, or chilly, dry conditions. But lots of show fell during the night, and I wanted to see the local winter wonderland as soon as possible.
