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?

Here’s a lilac from the Hulda Klager Lilac Farm, in Washington close to Oregon that I took in May. Aren’t they just something? I’m partial to scented flowers. For more heavenly flowers around the world, click HERE.

Out on a walk the other day, cold though it was, I found a long fence completely covered in some kind of red berry plant. I have no idea what it is. Does anyone know? But oh so red, and oh so welcome on a gray and gloomy Seattle January day.
