We had a sunbreak, a very Seattle term for a brief appearance of the sun. The plants adore the light, pouring all the way into the living room at this time of year. May you have the bliss of a winter sunbreak often, and may all your leaves be green.

I’ve been taking photos out my front window this whole season. Yesterday, just before a big rain started, it looked like this.

Wonderful sunny weather yesterday, with fast-changing patterns and layers of clouds in the sky.

Soon the Kousa dogwood leaves will begin to turn. See part of the little red fruit on the left? They are edible, if nothing to write home about. But cute!

When the petals of your hydrangea flowers get a little like crepe paper, they dry very well. Put in a vase with a half inch of water. By the time the water evaporates, the flowers will be dried enough to last and last.

Colors of mauve, purple and soft blue appear as the blue flowers mature and get ready to dry.

The changing weather fronts yesterday created swirling clouds on a blue, blue, late afternoon sky. A Pacific Northwest cloudscape for you.

The other evening the sky was spectacular in our Seattle backyard.

The view from our campsite in Scenic Beach State Park, WA last week.

Many, many tall Douglas fir trees with huckleberry bushes underneath (sadly all done)

On the way to Scenic Beach State Park Campground, this view near Seabeck was pretty scenic indeed. See the tiny boats in the distance?

My backyard a couple of weeks ago in late July. Don’t the pointy iris leaves look good?
