Purple and pink hydrangea

Sometimes the archives from the opposite time of the year are what I want to post. I guess I must be in tune with “down under.” These hydrangeas in the Volunteer Park Conservatory from May speak to me, somehow. Hope you enjoy them.

Rose bouquet

This bouquet of yellow roses, some with magenta-pink edges, were a gift for my daughter on her birthday last year. Here they are again, in all their perfection.

Birch tree in autumn

This photo was taken exactly one year ago, but the recent rain and wind has mostly taken the pretty leaves around the neighborhood by now, this year. Don’t you think this looks a bit like a pointillist painting?

Fall bouquet

The flower vendors at Seattle’s Pike Place Market really know how to put flowers together. You will find plant combos unlike anyplace else. And so cheap!

Summer peonies

Hunting for another photo, I found these perfectly pink peonies, with their soft shadows, languishing in a folder. Here’s to the bliss of summer flowers.

Lovely leaves and poem

What with all the wind we had, the leaf season is leaving. This beloved poem comes to mind.

Spring & Fall: to a young child

Margaret, are you grieving
Over Goldengrove unleaving?
Leaves, like the things of man, you
With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?
Ah! as the heart grows older
It will come to such sights colder
By and by, nor spare a sigh
Though worlds of wanwood leafmeal lie;
And yet you will weep and know why.
Now no matter, child, the name:
Sorrow’s springs are the same.
Nor mouth had, no nor mind, expressed
What heart heard of, ghost guessed:
It is the blight man was born for,
It is Margaret you mourn for.

Leaf color

We had a windstorm yesterday, so these maple leaves from a few days ago have probably blown off the old tree in my neighbor’s yard. A photo captures their incandescent color for us anyway.
