Siberian Buggloss

Tiny flowers about 4mm across, each one hollow inside.


I made a few changes to the template of The Reluctant Tourist today, hopefully cleaning things up a bit.

Fancy: Fritillary Lily I

Now blooming in the garden:
A triple of this fancy but diminuitive lily.

Seattle Japanese Garden I

A contemplative rock with a little cascade next to it, laced by soon-to-bloom rhododendrons and azaleas. Peaceful and serene in the early morning light.

Spring time finally arrives in the Pacific Northwest

Last weekend was as nearly perfect as it gets here in the spring. Warm sun all day both days, baseball on the radio, and the earth greening, growing and blossoming in front of your eyes. Perfect Bliss.

Snow Lantern III

Another from the recent morning trip to the Seattle Japanese Garden.

The camera, having now been fixed, is in the mail. Waiting is hard

Tree Glow I - Seattle Japanese Garden

Monday was a good day. I participated in a photography event at the Seattle Japanese Garden. Just 25 of us with normally forbidden tripods in the early morning enjoying birdsong accompaniment to the soft sounds of shutter clicking.

Spring Eagle

This huge bald eagle was flying along the Issaquah Creek side of Pickering Farm where today was the opening day of the Farmer's Market for this year.

What a time to not have a telephoto lens with me!
