It’s a special bonus when the time change day is sunny, especially in Seattle. This little crocus and its friend greeted me, all wet from the rain just earlier.

From ten years ago, Tawny grazing the horse pasture next door, taken from my yard. A big house and garage are there now, all fenced in. Life is change.

Oh, photo archives are a treasure. So many photos, and after a few years, some are completely new to me. I took that? Apparently I did, on a garden tour ten years ago. Here’s to July, and kitties, and sunshine!

We had a sun break from a snow shower last week, and the sun is so low in Seattle at this time of year that it made fringes of shadows while I did yoga in the sunshine. But just for a minute.

Here’s a little video clip of a January trip to Sonoma County, CA a few years ago. Scenic barn! Live oak! Birdsong!

And a still from the same scene. I wish you a scenic 2020.

At the recent light art installation at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, this very large palm frond was lit from below. We need the sense of sunlight as Seattle enters the Big Dark.

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