Paramount Park Natural Area has a myriad of moods. Today it was a veritable "Winter Wonderland" both for quiet contemplation and fun!

Cool sledding even with only 1" of snow in the meadow.

Logan's First Snow Ball - One year old
seems mystified by all this cold "white stuff".

Paramount Park offers natural wonders to photograph every day, but today it was mostly a Black & White album. Black and White is actually the most artistic medium anyway, in this photographers opinion.

Snow gives everything a distinctive outline and natures design is so easy to see and enjoy.

Birch, Cedar, Fir, Alder and Hemlock
are just a part of this Urban Forest Refuge

Paramount Park's wetland restoration has grown into a true nature preserve. Reflections are the extra bonus of a morning walk.

Hint of green "Duck Weed" shows life even
in winter here

Lower wetland has many "snags" and natural
elements built in. It's not "tidy" ,  but naturally
complex.

There is no end to the variety of views in this jewel of the Shoreline Parks Department. Over the last two decades, Paramount Park Neighborhood Group has worked with countless volunteers to restore some of the integrity of this largest wetland in Shoreline. 

Paramount Park was designated a Backyard Wildlife
Habitat in conjunction with the
Shoreline Community Backyard Wildlife Habitat Project.
