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.

Visited friends who have a food-themed Christmas tree. Here is a Santa-stomping-grapes ornament, because why not?

From a trip to the Cloisters in New York City, exactly two years ago; such a peaceful place.

Looking through the archives for some sunshine, found this one of magnolia branches against the sky, taken one April day. You’re welcome.

Recent wildfires have made our Seattle sky so smoky. The moon is almost full, and so red (even redder than this photo), high in the sky.

Our very young peach tree gave us eight peaches! When’s the last time you saw peaches with fuzz on them? Commercial growers breed that out of them for market purposes, but the store ones sure don’t smell and taste like these.
