It was a beautiful day as I biked from Sammamish up through Redmond. After my morning Aikido class, I picked up a picnic lunch from the nearby QFC and made my way back to the Sammamish River Trail. Biking along the river with a crisp breeze blowing at my back was invigorating. I watched the brightly colored kayakers head downstream as I pedaled in the opposite direction.
The fake train station park in Woodinville is one of my favorite picnic spots, but I had a long way to go yet, so I pedaled past.
There are really some lovely bridges along the river...so much variety!
And don't forget the lively hens and noisy roosters who rule the forest! Lots of "crossing the road" for them!
another interesting bridge...
and further along, a view of Lake Washington. My hope had been to take the Burke-Gilman trail to the Sound, but as I reached U. Village, I ran out of time and had to turn back.
Very interesting flowering bush spotted along the way.
returning to Redmond, there was a Thomas Kincade moment by yet another bridge.
The sun was reflecting on the trees in the background in a flaming riot of color. Not to be missed.
