Dahlia macro

Volunteer Park in Seattle has a dahlia garden, very well maintained by the local Dahlia Society. The other day the sun was shining, and I was happy to see this.

Orchids at the Conservatory

Today was the last day that Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory was open to visitors so that the long-awaited restoration project can be completed. Look for the grand re-opening in early December.

A beautiful last day for the orchids at the Conservatory, until re-opening in December, a mere two months or so away.

Rose bouquet

They predicted rain, quite a bit, so I went out and cut the fully open roses. What a fine idea I had.

Sparkling outfits

At the party this weekend to celebrate the engagement of a man whose family is originally from Northern India, these lovely ladies agreed to stop for a photo. Their clothing was so very colorful and sparkling.

Flower basket of begonias

Walking in West Seattle recently, saw these baskets of an unusual kind of begonia. Pretty showy, I think.

Burien Arts-A-Glow

I happened upon a wonderful community event this evening, the Burien Arts-A-Glow Lantern Festival, and was enchanted at the various light sculpture installations in the little park. This one had three groups of lit-up pillars a few inches wide and maybe 10 or 12 feet tall. Loved it.

Burning Man 07

In honor of the fantastical Burning Man event held in the Nevada desert at this time every year and just ended, here’s a photo I took when I was there in ’07. The statues in the lower left are several stories high. Enormous and mind-boggling doesn’t begin to describe the entire event.
