Ruby red tree

Red trees aren’t just a fall thing. The tree across from my new house went from bare branches to pinkish, to red, and for all I know gets to purple, but right now it’s such a lovely ruby color, especially in the late afternoon light. Happy Spring to all!

Red camellia for Ruby Tuesday

Spring is so wonderful. Here’s a perfect red camellia for Ruby Tuesday, from the huge old shrub in my backyard. No fragrance, but their almost mandala-like circle of petals is hypnotic to me. And they bloom early!

Punjabi wedding

We were invited to a pre-wedding party (“Cocktail & Sangeet”) for a young Punjabi Indian couple we know. It was at that big old building at the south end of Lake Union in Seattle. The clothing worn was magnificent, the music was loud, and even though the light was low, I thought I’d share a photo from there for Ruby Tuesday. And I just realized the bride’s name is Ruby!

Belltown mural

Belltown is a sort of hip and trendy area in downtown Seattle. I thought I’d post something a little different for Ruby Tuesday, the view down from sidewalk level to the parking lot near the cafe where I met someone for coffee. Note the very green weeds! A bit gritty, but the scene’s still vibrant and creative, doing that urban juxtaposition thing.

Fireworks for Ruby Tuesday and Blog Anniversary!

It’s been a full year since I began this blog adventure. Those of you who blog yourselves know what a huge part of my life this has become. I enjoy it so much! The opportunity to show people photos I have taken that I like very much, my faves, is such a blessing. Thank you to all who have come and looked, and a special thank you to those who have taken the time to leave feedback. Remember, comments on improving my skills are always welcome, so comment away.

This photo was taken at Burning Man festival in Black Rock, NV. I only wish the photo could really show how stupendously enormous it was. The person in the lower left was fairly close to me, not that close to the fireworks. A good thing, too!

Red geraniums for Ruby Tuesday

Here’s a look at something red—taken in August, but what the heck. It was at a truly specacular private garden in Camano Island, WA. Doesn’t it feel warm and balmy?

Glad about glads, for Ruby Tuesday

Here’s a shot of late July glads from my last garden in the Des Moines WA house. They are so easy to grow and increase by themselves. And do you see the red cherry in the background? I did bring some corms to the new place, but it will take a bit before they reach this density.

Red twigs for Ruby Tuesday

This is actually a Japanese maple tree of some sort. Doesn’t it look amazing? The red is RED, full on. It’s taken from my neighbor’s, looking at my front yard. It will almost be a shame when the leaves come out.

Iconic Ruby Tuesday

This photo was taken at the new sculpture park downtown maybe last summer, with the city’s signature Space Needle (left over from an old World’s Fair) framed against the sky. It always makes me feel like the martians have landed. The big red thing is part of a huge sculpture that looks like it’s flying, by Alexander Calder. If you go to Seattle, you should visit the Olympic Sculpture Park, absolutely. It’s a kick.
