Purple sweet peas

Sweet peas are some of the more challenging flowers to photograph. In person they are delicate, graceful and charming, but most of my photos fail to show them to advantage. Maybe next time.

Double Delight macro

I have been posting quite a few flower macros lately, but feel compelled to show you this one, taken just a couple of hours ago, showing my Double Delight rose incandescently reaching to the sun on the longest day of the year. Here in cloudy Seattle we appreciate the sun, perhaps more than other places. Happy Solstice and Happy Summer! I really love this image and I am calling it my weekly Top Shot.

In my garden

Found a picture that my brother took last year at this time of me in my garden.

Pink honeysuckle macro

I saw this honeysuckle vine growing and blooming in a vacant property, in a lot of shade. I realized that it must be some tough plant, and took two small pieces home, and one rooted. Now this is blooming on the north side of my house. I really appreciate plants that flower in full shade, and it’s fragrant to boot!

Rose in the rain

It rained yesterday and it was gentle enough to just bejewel the roses.

Mountain laurel

Another image from my recent visit to the South Seattle College Arboretum (see the posts below), taken near the Alki Cafe (surprisingly delicious food). Mountain laurel certainly seems related to rhododendron, no?

Frilly pink poppy

Another beautiful sight at the South Seattle College Arboretum (see the post below), these huge, frilly, oriental poppies with pink, spotted petals were dazzling to me.

Pink dogwood tree

Today I went someplace new, the South Seattle College Arboretum, and the weather was perfection. Here is what their heavenly pink dogwood tree looked like, straight out of the camera. I think I’d like to see this as a fabric print, somehow.
