She's out

Beautif Mt. Rainier was out early this morning. I was at the barn when I took this. She is so lovely. It has been cloudy, the sunny and now overcast and Miz Rainier is like a shadowy glow in the background. MB

Illusion Moon

The moon is supposed to look extra large tonight. It is because of where the moon is in line with the earth. It is really the same size as always. So it is called an illusion. I took this tonight at 10:45 as it came up over the trees.

Turn of the century house

This house in Coupeville on Whidbey Island was built in 1887 and is on the Historical Registry.

A bed of Petunias

If you remember last year I had this garden bed full of Impatients. so this year I have Petunias and weeds. I cannot get ahead of the weeds. I wonder why flowers done grow as fast as weeds do. I guess I should cultivate my weeds and call them flowers.
