Even gray skies can be scenic, once in awhile. I love this image and am calling it my weekly Top Shot.

We have the kind of hummingbird feeder that suction-cups to the window. Not only does it provide a great view from indoors, but the extra heat from the house keeps the feeder mostly ice free. I went outside to take pictures of the snow and here is our little friend, posing nicely.

At Seattle’s NW Flower & Garden Show (NWFGS), one of my favorite gardens had this sign, “In Case of Zombies, Or Yardwork.” We’re all set, now.

This photo was taken on a warm and perfect August evening in Moses Lake, Washington. Doesn’t it almost look like a rainbow in the water reflection?

At the recent Paper Dresses show at the Bellevue Arts Museum, photos weren’t allowed of the incredible creations. But could I help it if a photo of their reflecting pool out the window showed some of the magnificent display as well as the buildings of downtown Bellevue, WA?

Looking through some old photos, I found this one of me and a bouquet from my garden in California, from 1984, almost 30 years ago! I guess my interest in gardening, flowers and photography isn’t going away any time soon.

Here’s a photo, taken in July, of the overlook near my house at sunset looking out to Vashon Island, I believe. I don’t know the names of these cute, mini-funnel-shaped pink clouds. Anyone?

Finally got to get outside today. Super cold, but sunny. Here are some trees and sky and brick buildings with windows reflected in windows of brick buildings, looking fine in Seattle.
