Bowmans Bay
A nice photo of Bowman Bay for my daily photo.. North of here. A lovely place where we went kayaking in an inflatable kayak. The park there is very lovely with pockets of fog filtered with sunlight.
Hydrangea. Tiny pink petals.
I got two new hydrangeas this summer. This one starts out very pale, off white, and darkens into this dusty pink. It's delicate and flowing in habit.

Mukilteo Sunset
It's so beautiful driving around the neighborhood, or walking the steep hills to get a glimpse of the water and the ferries going to and fro. At night it seems lights glide across the Sound,
The ferry invisible in the dark.

It's fall-ing
Some new hydrangeas I got this year.
The little Japanese maple. I've pruned it so much, but not this year.
It has created a very sort of lumpy look that widens out, and I like it a lot.
It's the largest in the neighborhood, very full of character..
And it has grown so much due to being pruned underneath.
It really has a very alive appearance!

The Insistent Gourd Vessel
e
This is an older piece of mine, an old favorite which I didn't sell.
I'll post pics of the top, and maybe you'll see why it might become my pumpkin for halloween.

These glads were cheap at the grocery store. I had not had flowers in a long time.
I like the way they mix with the cherry blossom kimono and the silver and red kimono..

Latte stands of my area....
This one doesn't exist anymore. It was at the Snohomish pumpkin patch.
I used to go there every year, taking Daisy. I miss that rascally kid!
This one is in Arlington WA
Very cute, it perks you right up!
This one has potential, Maybe painted like a coffee bag?
This is one which started a new era in not very creative latte stands.
It's close to where I live.
In Snohomish, it was temporary.

Lake Crescent Lodge
Around 1930 members of Congress proposed the establishment of a large national park encompassing the central, mountainous region of the Olympic Peninsula, and, as a result, the Lodge received its most notable guest. To assess the sylvan beauty firsthand, President Franklin D. Roosevelt journeyed to the Peninsula in the fall of 1937. The Lodge welcomed him, his guards, and other political leaders the evening of September 30th. It is speculated, though not officially documented, that he spent the night there as well. As a result of his journey around the Peninsula, the President emphatically signed Olympic National Park into existence in 1938. Cottages built in the following decade were consequently named the Roosevelt Cabins.
Opens in May, Closes in Late October.
