Sehome hill & Sculpture Garden Trailblazer hike

A small group for this beautiful day after Christmas hike. 4 women and our fearless leader Pat. 
We parked at the Rotary trailhead parking lot off of Bill McDonald pkwy.


We walked along the Bill McDonald pkwy for a bit and then joined the Connelly Creek trail



It goes by Joe's Garden, which looks like it's been turned over ready for this spring's plantings.


we crossed the road on Sehome hill and saw this sight, I love the trees draped over the road -


We were now in the Arboretum.



We stopped for lunch at the tower, with it's panorama view.

as we were leaving the arboretum, we came to the reservoir and saw these wonderful murals on the walls.

We were now at the Western Washington University campus,

we even went into the Geology building to look at rocks and fossils.


Awesome, a visual delight today!
