Boy in tree

At a neighborhood event in the park, looked up and saw a boy having fun climbing a tree.

Raindrops on evergreen branch

Our brief camping trip last week was sadly rained out, but before we left of course I took some photos.

Boy at poolside

Friends have the most beautiful garden you can imagine, with a view that just won’t quit. Here is a small visitor checking out the pool on a warm evening recently.

Ohanapecosh River

We went camping last week, southeast of Mt. Rainier in Washington. At first the local river, the Ohanapecosh River (pronounced o-HANA-puh-cosh), was clear and gorgeous.

Then (bonus image time!) it rained very, very hard. Here is the same river, a few miles upstream, after much rain.

Quinceañera photo

In Point Defiance Rose Garden in Tacoma, WA, I was lucky enough to see a beautiful and excited fifteen-year old girl having her Quinceañera photos taken.

Yellow cherry tomatoes

Yellow cherry tomatoes are such stars of the food garden. Their little stem caps even look like stars.

Planter flowers with coleus

This display of shade-happy plants is a skillful combination of colors and textures, don’t you think? Some unknown floral designer did a fine job.

Canning jars of food

My friend Sherry has a fabulous garden and cans her own food. I am envious!

Leek flower bud

Leeks are remarkable plants in the garden. The first photo is the bud enclosed in its casing, with several inches of a green spike on top, looking like an alien hairdo. Below that is the ripe casing falling away, and the buds of the flowers showing themselves. They are at about eye level for me, so a bunch of them make quite an otherworldly show.

Kitty on patio

Dusty kitty is one of those cats who will love you, no matter who you are, kind of like a friendly dog. But she’s hard to get to pose nicely. Here she is on our patio on a warm July afternoon.
