I took these photos at the Kite Hill area of Magnuson Park on the third weekend in November last year. This November isn’t quite as picturesque with all the gray skies we’ve had.

Last week was a rough one. Saturday came along and it was stormy with wind and rain, reflecting my mood. The rains stopped before the winds did, so I thought I should take the opportunity to get outside and visit a beach on Puget Sound.

I love pumpkins. I love the shape when you find a perfect pumpkin. I love the rich color and how it immediately evokes autumn. I love how they are both food and creative decoration. I love pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving. I even love the sound and feel of saying the word pumpkin.

Sunlight piercing through water ripples creates the effect of mini laser light shows on stones beneath the surface. Photo taken at Magnuson Park on Lake Washington. Posted for the WPC with the theme of shine.
