Springtime At Pt. Defiance

[korky123]

Today was a pleasant day here in Tacoma, so we decided to head to Pt. Defiance for a few hours. I took many pictures, some I share here with you! If you ever visit Tacoma, Pt. Defiance is a must-see with so many attractions such as the zoo, aquarium, flower gardens, and over 400+ acres of beautiful woodland and beachfront. Many activities such as kayacking, picnicking, hiking, etc. Can you tell I LOVE this place?

Please enjoy my photos!

Well, thank you! I have many more pics of Pt. Defiance that I will share later. Yes, the colors are quite vibrant! I've been finding lots of bright springtime flowers even on my walk to the coffee shop. They seem to really be popping!

(not)leipzig: I'm glad you enjoyed them. I'm not one for bright colors, but the vibrance of the flowers compelled me to take pictures of them. The day was warm and sunny (unlike today), so I think the colors "popped" just a wee bit brighter.

It's a beautiful park, a bit of our native forest land preserved in the middle of the city! I'll be returning within a day or so for a nature hike, and to snap more pics.
