we took a cloudy saturday afternoon to explore the lower portion of fort ward park, after lunch at hammy's on bainbridge island. due to the rainy day we stepped in a bit of mud walking off our burgers on the trails, but luckily there is a spigot to rinse your shoes (and a small bowl for puppies!)
we've noticed that in this area, locals don't wait for a sunny break to enjoy the outdoors, which is particularly good this year as winter seems to be dragging on longer than usual. (or so i'm told!) i've seen people out and about, running in all kinds of weather, and this day was no exception. despite the cloudy cast, we encountered a fair amount of families walking with their dogs and children.
keeping our fingers crossed that springtime will appear soon!
