Two kitties

Looking through my archives, found this peaceful photo of a friend’s cats staying warm. Isn’t this relaxing just to look at?

Emerging bulbs

Went outside the other day in a dry break and was thrilled to see these bluebell sprouts pushing up already. It’s not even technically winter yet and they speak to us of spring.

Shadows on the wall

The mysterious thing about these early morning shadows is that the tree branches they show are probably 75 feet away. It’s amazing that the details of the cedar needles are so clear. I am thinking that there must be a pinhole camera effect.

Morning shadows from tree branches very far away

Summer cherry tomatoes

It’s gray and rainy in Seattle this week, with more darkness on the way. Let’s think about summer sunshine and tomatoes, just for a bit, shall we?
