The name of this rose is Honor. The late afternoon light was so beautiful this evening.

And here it is in black and white. I always have such resistance to letting the color go. Which is more thrilling?

I have a bougainvillea standard (little tree) that I take inside each fall. Here it is enjoying the sunshine on our patio.
Colorful papery bracts enclose the true white flower of the bougainvillea plant.

At the Alki Art Fair last weekend, the weather was magnificent. Here’s the view north showing Seattle’s iconic Space Needle.

I’ve been using a better grade of fertilizer in my little backyard vegetable garden and it has paid off beautifully. Never had such beautiful string beans, ever! The purple ones cook up green, the wax beans stay yellow, and both are easier to find and pick. All taste wonderful!

Staying in Sequim for the Lavender Festival, this was in the yard where we stayed. Can’t you just smell the fragrance?

Also our host baked us a cherry pie with cherries from her tree!

As you might know, I am a jewelry crafter and have been having a good time in various craft fairs for a few years now. I usually make glass tile jewelry from the pages of my book, “Flowers of Volunteer Park Conservatory,” (see the Jewelry and Shows tabs at the top) but for the Sequim (WA) Lavender Festival I’ve made some special pieces. If you are in the area, please do come see me in Booth 135. Here’s a photo I took out there last year.

Here’s a shot of Seattle approaching from the south, showing progress on the new tunnel construction. I think the yellow cylinders are where the tunnel boring started, moving north. At one time not so very long ago, the Smith Tower on the far right, the pointy one, was the tallest building in Seattle!
