So fun to browse through my archives with the mission of finding a sky photo for Skywatch Friday. You can find other people’s versions of Skywatch Friday HERE. I really like this photo, taken from a fast-moving car (I wasn’t driving!) while we were in Arizona last year. I remember how gray it was in Seattle at the time, and how much I loved the vast, brilliantly sunny, crystal clear air landscape.

A recent sunny day with the buildings looking like part of the sky, perfect for Skywatch Friday. Click HERE for more beautiful sky photos.

This is something different. My sister Jo in Camano Island, north of Seattle, was up at a very unaccustomed early hour and was rewarded by this sunrise as seen from her deck. I couldn’t resist posting the series she took here for Skywatch Friday. For more Skywatch Friday photos, click HERE.

In back of our yard is a horse pasture. It is beautiful even if the horses are in the barn.

This is my first Skywatch Friday post. Doesn’t it look like a guy grinning and wanting to shake hands? Taken at a golf course in Kent, WA. They golfed; I took pictures.

Went to meet a potential client and saw a gorgeous garden on the way. Here is a lovely hanging basket for you to enjoy.

I haven’t been taking enough pictures recently to have ones worthy of sharing, so I thought I’d look at last year on this date and see what I found. Voila! Some very nice ones. The first was taken at the Darrington Bluegrass festival, in a sunny moment. I do not know the name of the beautiful mountain.

And here are some daylilies that I grew in the Des Moines house. They are only in their third year here in the ground. Our new house in Normandy park will definitely have some of these, after the garden gets going.

Our new neighborhood has a few lovely gardens. This strip of foxgloves takes my breath away.

The reason for the long gap in before the last photo is that we moved from Des Moines WA to Normandy Park WA. Our new yard is big and looks even bigger as it connects up seamlessly with the properties on both sides, plus a horse pasture with two beautiful horses is directly in back. I did want to post a nice photo from my yard, but the weather did not cooperate for a good photo EXCEPT for this shot of my neighbor Dan’s yard right next to ours. I promise you’ll have ones of my actual yard in the future.

First we went to the Cherry Blossom Festival in the Seattle Center. This detail is of the Experience Music Project.

These tree roots are at the Seattle Center. Amazing! I wonder why they do that.

Then a chilly walk on Alki Beach, for the first time for me. Even though the weather was windy and cold, especially the rain cloud that was not raining on us, yet, the scene was so beautiful. Can you see the group of ducks on the water?
