I love this time of year. Seattle does Spring so very well. My magnolia tree is loving this week of sunshine.

Here’s a little video clip of a January trip to Sonoma County, CA a few years ago. Scenic barn! Live oak! Birdsong!

And a still from the same scene. I wish you a scenic 2020.

Not the greatest photo, but isn’t this Gumdrop Tree the cutest thing, from a zillion years ago?

I do post a lot of photos about Seattle’s Volunteer Park Conservatory, but here is a view that few are lucky enough to see. This glass structure is one of the support production greenhouses, seen on a sunny, early-fall afternoon last week. Volunteering has its perks!

Just for fun, a photo from the other side of the year. Should be perfect for our friends down under…

Homegrown peaches may be fuzzy, but the ineffable sweet perfume of them…

I think this is a Frost peach tree. It doesn’t get leaf curl and is producing sweet peaches in Seattle

The very small city I live in, Normandy Park, WA, is noted for its rhododendrons and evergreens. This was at my house yesterday.

A cedar tree maybe 300 years old in the background, and a pink rhodie with a dark pink throat.

It was overcast but the little apple tree was blooming anyhow. Hope the bees find it.

White with delicate tinges of pink: apple blossom perfection

I have a multi-graft plum tree, and the earliest section is blooming. Such a welcome sight. Happy Spring!

Or perhaps you might say, Mt. Rainier is wearing a toupee? From the overlook near my house.
