In a friend’s garden, magnificent and simple Japanese anemones. And a bonus shot!

Brilliant yellow-orange centers on ruffly white petals make this a late-summer favorite

Even though these graceful chairs in a Richmond Beach, WA coffee shop have seen better days, they still make me want to sit there. Side note: the chair on the left appears to be Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2015, Marsala.

Old upholstered chairs with carved wood and tufted backs still have some faded glory.

A friend’s garden is loaded with grapes. These green ones are not quite ripe, but still so pretty.

These tall leek blossoms dominate my vegetable garden this time of year. I have no idea why some are white and some are lavender or purple. Bees love them!
