THE EARLY TULIPS ARE TAKING A BEATING with all of the rain we’ve had of late. This one, loaded with raindrops and not quite flopped to the ground caught my eye. Perhaps the mid and late season ones will fare better.

I picked up my daughter and grand-daughter and we went for a leisurely walk through Westcrest Park this afternoon. I snapped this photo of Sophia picking a couple of everyone’s favorite harbinger of spring, little bellis perennis. For me it was the best photo of the day and I had to share the sunny optimism it evokes.

Posted in Clouds, Rainy days in Seattle
TODAY THE CLOUDS ARE AT GROUND LEVEL. It looks like fog but is rain. A lot of it. All day. This is why we have an over abundance of moss growth this year.
We picked up mom this morning and took a trip to see the spectacle of Snoqualmie Falls, east of Seattle. There has been quite a bit of rain and warming temperatures the past few days in the Cascades, so that means some snow melt and rising rivers. The Snoqualmie River is very near flood stage and the falls runneth over (couldn’t help myself). The river falls 270 ft. before continuing north to join with the Skykomish River near Monroe. Today it was quite a sight. So much water is moving over the fall it creates its own wind.

All things botanical in photos and words—in my West Seattle garden and elsewhere; seeing and creating art and assorted musings.
