A nice, cold bench

A sunny afternoon on Tyee Spit.

With long shadows as the sun heads for the hills behind.

You'd never know by the look of it that it is freezing out there.

They call it the "Garden Walk"

Along one of the passages from building to building in the hospital complex, they've put a few planters against a wall in an outdoor space, some comfortable chairs just inside the window, and behind it all, fake windows with bright birds and flowers. I spend too much time there, but there's always a little camera in my bag...

Bare tree, green leaves, and strange shadows after sunset.

The planters, shadows, and a reflection of fantastic flowers.

There are more hospital photos of the "going stir crazy" variety, in a Facebook album, here.

Textures and shapes: Green on green

Tall ferns cast their shadows on the skunk cabbage leaves in Cougar Canyon:

The ferns themselves are those blurry pale shapes on the left. The dark fern shapes are all shadows.

Slugs or snails have been at work here.

Busy day tomorrow; we'll be going to Deer Lake, weather permitting. Goodnight for now!

Light and shadows

The Secret Garden, Batch Two.

Again, in no particular order.

Succulents, pink flowers, rocks, under a palm-like tree.

Maidenhair ferns

Rusty sign. Can you read this? I can't.

Red and white tulips

We found this pinned to a bench. Love never forgets.

Another fern, unrolling. Google has thousands of fern pics. I gave up trying to find the name of this one.

Old wood, California poppies, and ivy

Just leaves.

And there will be more tomorrow.
