It has been so hot here in the Pacific Northwest, that I have been doing most of my photography early in the morning, or late in the evening. Recently, I was able to capture a close-up of this sweet lily which was open for just one morning! If you look close, you can see how…

In Seattle, they say that summer starts July 5 (due to rain), but this year we have had unseasonably nice weather! We are taking a short sabbatical to enjoy these warmer summer days. My next post will be on July 24th. Please enjoy past photos in my slideshow – thank you for all your support!

Although the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival is winding down, I couldn’t resist sharing one more photo of the beautiful tulips I captured earlier this month. My sweet husband spotted this single “loner” red tulip hiding in the millions of yellow tulips. He is very observant as this shot was almost fifty feet away from us!…

Grape Hyacinths, Washington, USA

Byskipandsusan April 17, 2018

These beautiful tiny flowers are called Grape Hyacinths and return every year in our rockery. They have a light fragrance and are one of the first bulb flowers to poke out each spring. In between rainstorms, I captured this great close-up – just a few inches away – but luckily it is still too early…
