Clouds reflected

Browsing through the archives, found this image from a golf course visit with hubby at this time of year, a few years ago. He played; I photographed.

Dahlia bouquet with lilies

At the Renton (WA) Fall Harvest Festival on Saturday, I was surprised to see these bouquets of dahlias that included intensely fragrant lilies. The ones in my garden have long been finished. I bought some and the entire house is filled with their scent.

Dramatic sky

This image of a dramatic sky over Puget Sound was taken in Des Moines, WA (south of Seattle), right near a friend’s house. She can walk across the street and see this!

Fresh carrots

Saw these at the farmer’s market. Aren’t they gorgeous? Makes me want to just grab one and chomp on it.

Red rose in the rain

I did not go outside in the pouring rain here in Seattle today, but I had this image from last year taken in my rose garden around this date. Stay safe and dry, everyone!

Coupeville pier

Coupeville is one of the oldest towns in Washington, I am told. We were here last year at this time. Don’t you just love the starry diamonds on the water?
