Leek flowers

These tall leek blossoms dominate my vegetable garden this time of year. I have no idea why some are white and some are lavender or purple. Bees love them!

Rose and lavender garden

I have a rose garden in front of my house. A few of the roses didn’t do too well so I replaced them with lavender. I’m very happy with the combination.

Fallen redwood

My brother is on a motorcycle trip and had his friend take this picture of him in front of a fallen redwood in Northern California. What an image!

Potato bin

I’ve been growing potatoes in a different way, and it is looking like my best potatoes ever. My friend told me how to do it and let me collect bags of dried leaves from under her trees to use. I started with a layer of good dirt and fertilizer (about 6″), put the potatoes just under the surface, watered well, and as they grew kept adding dried leaves, letting some green tops stay uncovered, keeping it well watered, adding more leaves as I could. This bin was started at the very end of April, and look at it today! Below are the flowers from the red potatoes.

Rusty old cars

In front of the mosaic fence below, some remarkable and beautiful old vehicles. The top one is from the 30s, maybe?

Old and rusty, but still graceful.

Here is something you don’t see every day. In the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle, a mosaic fence.

That late afternoon light is so generous with shadows. Which image do you prefer? Long shot or close up?

Chive flowers

Chive plants are great. Months of tasty herbs for the kitchen, and pretty flowers, too!

Thinking about going camping. This was taken awhile back on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington.
