A wonderful display garden at NW Flower & Garden Show in Seattle (#NWFGS) had a beautiful fountain inside an arched courtyard. The gentleman there told me it’s “la fuente” in Spanish. He said that in old Spanish, la fuente also means “the source.”

Guess I’m just in a macro mood lately. From an afternoon garden party on one of the finest days Seattle can offer.

From a trip to Port Orchard, WA last year just at this time, a very wet pier on a very wet but lovely day. Let’s take a little stroll, shall we?

I posted a similar photo a number of years ago but you don’t mind seeing it again, do you? This columnar apple tree was in my backyard in a pot.

Just taken today in the downpour we had this afternoon, this photo of a lovely container planting outside the Volunteer Park Conservatory had some late hellebores happy in all the wet.

I’m trying out a new photo meme today: Distracted By Shiny Things. I think I have one or two things that qualify. Heck, even yesterday’s post of the ocean was pretty shiny!

Here’s a shot from November of leaves on the amazing red-bark maple below. I thought you’d like to see that the stems and twigs are really red, no fooling.
