Happy Spring Equinox! We are blessed with sunny weather in Seattle this whole week. Don’t know why we don’t see more of these forsythias around Seattle but I love them.

Brilliant yellow and old-fashioned forsythia is the glory of springtime

It’s a special bonus when the time change day is sunny, especially in Seattle. This little crocus and its friend greeted me, all wet from the rain just earlier.

I admit that these cherry blossoms are from the archives (but were taken on this date). Spring will be here soon!

Oh, photo archives are a treasure. So many photos, and after a few years, some are completely new to me. I took that? Apparently I did, on a garden tour ten years ago. Here’s to July, and kitties, and sunshine!

This old carpet was laid in 1926 in the Delta Masonic Lodge building in Tukwila, WA. I love this design. Each flower “petal” is maybe a foot across.

At the recent light art installation at Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, this very large palm frond was lit from below. We need the sense of sunlight as Seattle enters the Big Dark.

There was a brief bit of sun late in the day and it lit up an orange tree.
