4th of July

I have just finished celebrating Independence Day in Seattle. Instead of facing the insanity of Gasworks Park where Seattle’s main fireworks display takes place; my pal Sylvia, her hubby Brian and I made our way to Magnuson Park along the shores of Lake Washington for a far less crowded view of the Kirkland and Bellevue fireworks displays across the water.

Waiting for the fireworks to begin

Brian rustled up a sumptuous picnic complete with bubbly and we feasted and chatted as the night sky twinkled and the lake waters glowed all colours of the rainbow.
