It is an adventure, into the garden...

Usually this time of year I'm posting photos of travels. But the garden is really so colorful. So I'm sharing them with you.
Snapdragon, toadflax, and darling bunny nose...daisies, hydrangea, cosmos, crocosmia and Hosta complete with Buddha and Nefertiti!

Hope the colors brighten an days for all who might enjoy gardens trips.

Swallowtail butterfly...

Lovely butterfly. Welcome....
Rate occurrence to have this fluttering around my yard.
We don't have many here where it rains so much.
It's been fascinating to observe its love of flowers.
Here it's on the crocosmia , it flitted off to calendula then hanging baskets with lobelia.

Home sweet Home

Flowers from every window view

Away a few weeks, the garden flowers continued to thrive...

Ariel of Rainier is spectacular.

From Paradise

The mountain has come alive. Unfrozen it’s turned emerald green.. lampshades at the Paradise Lodge made long ago by hand

Peony in bloom smelling like perfume

Hosta Garden this Spring

Skagit Valley Tulips

A few photos of ones available along the roadside. I enjoy the freedom of feasting my eyes for free and with little ado. But would have bought some if I didn't have to pay to buy them. (Parking)
