At Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, there have been some fabulous Lusio light art, music and dancing fundraisers, and the last one this year is coming up on Saturday, October 19. Here’s a photo from the one in January. So much fun!

I took the houseplants in and now the autumn sun comes in this window. My favorite place to read.

Driving home from the middle of the state (WA), we saw a sundog along with the huge wind turbines.

Can you see the faint rainbow in the clouds?

At the Cove in Normandy Park WA last evening, the sky was mostly gray but quite beautiful, I thought.

Just a few weeks ago the last segments of Seattle’s viaduct were still standing. Now they are no more.

Even though it’s fall now, May sounds pretty good to me. This is a scene from my May backyard a few years ago.

Thinking about the flowers at Pike Place Market in Seattle. This was taken on today’s date a few years ago. Enjoy this abundance!

We spent a few days in this little cabin in the Olympic National Forest. It was built in 1907, and it just so happens we met the granddaughter of the man who built it, a Mr. Finch. In any case, a rainy day on a porch like this is just heaven. Note the yoga mat.
