| That's My World is hosted each week by Klaus and the My World team, Klaus, Sandy, Wren, Fishing Guy and me. Join us and share your world with others from all over Our World! Just click on the post title, read the rules, sign up and play with us! So! How is your world this week? Have you taken time to see the beauty there? What is it about your world that makes you smile or laugh or feel grateful for? On Friday I went on one of the four or five trips a week arranged by the complex where I live now and I got to see a part of my world that I had never seen! And that's what I'm sharing with you today! Bellevue, WA is about a half hour drive from here and I was amazed at all the sky scrapers, parks and beautiful neighborhoods as we drove through town. Everyone on the bus except me headed for the huge Mall -- and me??? I headed across the street to one of the loveliest parks I've seen anywhere and particularly lovely on this amazingly beautiful, sunny spring day! Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoyed taking them!! |

Thank you for sharing ! These pictures have almost taken me to WA. I would have liked to see a lot of places myself. My husband has become afraid of travelling. He doesnot admit it. He says that he it is tedious. My son in Hawaii is requesting so mush that he come there, but I am unable to convince him.
My family is my world. Also I like to be a part of the family called the world and the place called the Earth. When I leave from this Earth I want to be satisfied that I did something good for this Earth. I am afraid that I may not, but I will try my best.
Your post is great. Again thanks for sharing.
Beautiful Spring photos!

Yes … I can see by your captures why your new world and its surrounding areas feel particularly beautiful, Sylvia! Bellevue is a place I haven’t visited for a very long time … we are more apt to visit Bellingham. The park is unique and I love the waterway that almost seems Grecian in design. Also love the quotes that seem especially profound today. Thanks as always for sharing your journey. :)
Wow - what fabulous photos. I adore the park and oh, those gorgeous blossoms!
Bellevue is beautiful, Sylvia. Nice pics of the park!
Thank you, Sylvia. You took me to Bellevue, WA. Amazingly beautiful place, almost heaven. I love all of those great photos. Have a nice day!
What a lovely spot, with the fountain and the blossoms.
Your world has expanded, with all those trips on offer. What fun.
Beautiful shots of the park, very picturesque.
Such beautiful, bright shots, Sylvia!
I'm with you, Sylvia! I'd much rather take my camera to the park than sop at a mall. :) And the park was truly worth it!
I agree with my friend Penelope — I haven't been to Bellevue, WA, for many years, either, and your quotations today are particularly good, especially the second one.
I'm so glad you went to the park instead of the mall. Your photos are dreamy, and malls are definitely not!

Beautiful photos! What a lovely world.
I would have headed to the park with you!!
it's amazing
and your photos are wonderful
Such a wonderful place to spend some time. Wise of you to choose the park.
Last photo is like a dream - awesome Sylvia!
How you will have lots of opportunities like this :)
Happy SWF!
Sylvia, you definitely made the right decision. You can go to a mall anywhere. This is a lovely city park, which you captured nicely.
a park wins over a shopping mall anytime in my mind!!! lovely lovely images and I love the quotes...keep 'em coming, dear Sylvia!
I would have bolted for the park too. Nothing beats fresh air and nature.
the blooming trees and green grass are just lovely to see. :)
I love the ever changing header by your artist/friend/blogger. Its a beautiful park, in the heart of the high rises!
Nice to have a "personal" driver!
perfect shots!!!! Love it... Have a great weekdays ahead!!!
Great to see such vibrant spring!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Places that give time a different pace, and meaning. Thank you very much. Please have a good Tuesday.

Such a beautiful park, I hope you find many more on future bus trips.
a wonderful look at your world. such a beautiful park to explore and i love the lush greenery surrounding it. Amazing.
You made great use of your time. That looks like a very nice park.
I'd much prefer the park as well. What lovely photographs! I've been to Seattle, but not Bellevue. What wonderful sites you found! And I love your quotes. so perfect.
I must say it's fun to watch your changing header!
Great photos - that park looks lovely. Bellevue is where we'll be staying when we're visiting your area this summer.
Super photos but that last photo is remarkable...very brilliant! Thanks so much for sharing your part of the world...
Wow, Sylvia, your world is so beautiful! I always enjoy visiting you.
Your world is so beautiful! I wish I could visit the park some time.
Yours is a very beautiful world. Beautiful images. I hope you are enjoying your new apartment.
That last shot couldn't be more perfect. What a lovely place!
what a wonderful world!!
Excellent Quotes Sylvia.. I always look forward to reading them..Have a great evening!
I have seen this park, driving by, but have never walked in it. I would have been there in the park with you. Shopping? Not me.
Bellevue is a beautiful place, I think I know how you got attracted. Skyscrapers don't look oppressive, probably due to spacious green area.
I love your new header and each and every photo. The quotes about time is profound, especially I'm impressed by Dion Boucicault's.
Thank you for sharing, Sylvia, and have a wonderful week.
I sure am glad you skipped the mall and went to the park. The park itself is absolutely beautiful and your pictures are fantastic. Thank you for sharing this part of your world with us.
You made a great tour guide. I have never been to this park. But I have driven by it many times. Hmmm.... Look what I have missed!
Thanks for sharing.
Love the new header! So cute! I'm glad that you're enjoying your new place so much. I'm with you...I'd much rather check out the park than the mall! Beautiful shots...I always just drive by Bellevue, but never have stopped...I can see why it's called "Bellevue!"
these are gorgeous spring photos. the greens are greener, the flowers so alive. i could just sit on the grass with my book the whole day.
Your headerphoto today looked like the town I posted today in my blog. :) Have a nice week ahead.
Beautiful images and thoughts from your world again Sylvia.
And another beautiful banner too.
Have a great day.

Is that the area were you live now ? Looks beautiful !
I don't know what happened with my "My world" I get comments on the last week's post and not of this weeks one ! And when I checked everything looked normal.
Hi there - I'm with you on this one - rather be outdoors than in a mall - in fact I'd rather be almost anywhere rather than in a mall!
Have a good week

I love that fountain and the last picture with the flowers and benches! MAgnificent pictures!

A good series. Hermosa is an area
Good pictures that give a true reflection of the place.
Greetings .-
you sound like me. :) Who needs to go to the mall? When you have a lovely park to enjoy. And from what I see this place is worth more visits. :)
You are surrounded by so much beauty, both natural and man-made, I'm so envious!
Absolutely beautiful and inspiring setting! Thank you for sharing your views with us!
Sylvia, these are some really beautiful photos! I knew you would choose going to the park instead of the mall. :-) I would have done exactly the same. Great post!
Your pictures tell the story. I think you made the far better choice by gooing to this beautiful park! Wonderful shots Sylvia! I hope you are enjoying your new place.
Not only a beautiful park but it looks like a perfect spring day! Thanks for sharing!

Wonderful views, Sylvia! You live in a very nice area!
Beautiful images from your world. I liked the fountains.
