Saw this remarkable house in Edmonds, WA. Guess an artist lives there!

Entire outer wall of home in Edmonds, WA is covered in multi-colored fabric art.

Seattle’s viaduct is still with us, but not for very much longer after the tunnel is completed. I will miss these views.

It’s still raining, so I’m glad I cut my roses.

The weather in Seattle is supposed to get seriously rainy, after some very fine fall weather. The only thing to do is go out and cut all the open roses for bouquets, because they’ll only get destroyed. Bonus image below of the bouquets!

Cut the open roses in my garden ahead of the rain coming

And here are the bouquets they made, on my kitchen counter.

Garden roses smell so heavenly. These bouquets will go throughout the house.

I think this is the cutest succulent I ever saw, in Edmonds WA, growing low on the ground, outdoors on a downtown street. With a name tag!

There’s a neat garden area in downtown Edmonds, WA that is planted so beautifully. At this time of year, I was amazed to see so many blooming and unusual plants, all beautifully tended. Many were identified, as well! Kudos to Edmonds.

Such a pretty and strange looking flower, about 2 inches (5 cm) across.

At the local garden club district meeting recently, garden flowers (horticulture) were on display.

Simple and dramatic, this late-summer Japanese anemone is easy to grow in shade

There’s a cove near me, south of Seattle, and it does sunsets very well.

Possibly the last couple of beautiful days of the season, in Volunteer Park in Seattle.
