Orange tulips and blue sky

We had one sunny, warm day. One. But it was perfection, and here in Seattle, everyone surely appreciated it. I went outside and my tulips were in full bloom.

Peace rose in summertime

This pretty late-afternoon scene of peace roses in my front yard was taken last July. Summertime and its roses is only a few short months away.

Florist azaleas

At Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory  the other evening, they had pink-and-white florist azaleas on display. Aren’t they scrumptious?

Today is my sixth Blogoversary. I have made almost 1,500 blog posts and have had the pleasure of almost 18,000 comments! And do you believe, in all that time and all those comments, NOT ONE was ever less than kind and appreciative. What a great group of people enjoy pretty photos.

Here’s to many more years. I’m just getting the hang of this.

Primroses

The supermarket near me had a special on primroses, ten for $10, and I went for it. Multi-colored, long blooming, and sometimes they even return the following year—what’s not to like about primroses?

Spring at the Conservatory

As many of you know, I am in love with the Volunteer Park Conservatory in Seattle, and even did a book about it not that long ago. I am so proud to say I’ve been invited to serve on its Board of Directors. The photo below was taken today in the Conservatory at the Annual Meeting of its support organization, the Friends of the Conservatory, where my new status was made official. I’m so excited! What a wonderful place, enjoyed by so many people.

Orange rose macro

A dear friend brought some orange roses. Just a bouquet from the store, but still so lovely on my kitchen table, in the soft, spring afternoon light. I love this image and am calling it my weekly Top Shot.

Orange cosmos

Taking a peek at the other side of the year, this orange cosmos flower bloomed in a friend’s garden in September. I’ve grown them myself, and they are easy from seed. Try some this year!

Geraniums indoors

I have a south window in my living room, so I took some geraniums indoors last fall. Why not? Here they are in a sunbreak (that’s a Seattle term) last week, looking out at my backyard.
