Kubota Garden, Seattle

The next few postings will cover my Sunday time spent in the Kubota Garden. The garden is located in the Rainier Beach area of Seattle.

Seattle Winter

fullsizeoutput_4938I can’t take full credit for this photo. My wife took it after a night of snow. I’m guilty of plagiarism, sort of. I spiced up the photo a bit in PS Express.

Anyway, looking East from our deck, towards the Cascade Mts., which are not really visible.

Kitsch

I drive by this house from time to time to see the latest additions, It’s interesting that, as much stuff that is displayed, I’ve never seen any evidence of tampering or vandalism.

From my Neighborhood

One of the perks of living in the Arbor Heights area of West Seattle is the view of the Olympic Mountains.

Shy Hummingbird

I have a couple of hummingbird feeders just outside my backdoor. I can walk out and watch, without my camera, as the hummingbird partakes of the nectar I blend. If I bring my camera out and just wait, patiently, he/she will either not show up or hides on the backside of the feeder. You can just see his tail feathers in one of the images.

I’m determined to get a shot of this shy or perhaps, sly guy. He really does keep an eye on me while I’m watching him; he’ll stop drinking ( or whatever it is they do) and peek over at me. He’s really diligent about watching his surroundings.
