Abstracts in Nature
I don’t normally appreciate abstracts in modern art as I tend to prefer ‘reality.’ But nature is both real AND abstract when seen up close, as with this raspberry. I was chasing a butterfly in the picture below – I mean with my zoom… Continue Reading “Abstracts in Nature”

Benji’s Kitty Paws
Every morning after I wake up and feed the cats, I make my coffee and retreat to my office. And every morning, when he’s done eating, Benji joins me on my lap. While I muse, he sleeps. Unaware that I’m admiring his kitty paws.… Continue Reading “Benji’s Kitty Paws”

My Little Nuthatch
I love all the birds that call my garden home including this little charmer – the red breasted nuthatch. I often hear his energetic ‘ank-ank-ank,’ before I see him in the branches of the Douglas Fir tree above, looking for insects, or walking down… Continue Reading “My Little Nuthatch”

A Visit to Carkeek Park
Yesterday we visited Carkeek Park. I don’t know how many years it’s been as we don’t get to Seattle much since we moved to Renton. I’d forgotten how you can almost reach out and touch the Olympics further north. It was clear, cold and… Continue Reading “A Visit to Carkeek Park”

Snowbirds of the Skagit Valley
Last week I visited the daffodil fields of the Skagit Valley and got to see the snowbirds too! Thousands of snowbirds including snow geese from Russia’s Wrangel Island and trumpeter swans from Canada and Alaska migrate south along the Pacific Flyway to spend the… Continue Reading “Snowbirds of the Skagit Valley”

A Year of Purples and Violets
It turns out our country is nearly purple – an equal mix of red and blue. This is more and more evident as we anxiously await election results. In the meantime I went looking for purples and violets and came up with these photos… Continue Reading “A Year of Purples and Violets”

A Riot of Color in Orange and Green
It comes on slowly – then all in a hurry – this was the view at Coulon Park the end of September. Last week was a swirl of orange and green – like sherbet I thought – and photographers were out to see it.… Continue Reading “A Riot of Color in Orange and Green”
