Cherry blossoms

Sky full of cherry blossoms on Capital Hill, Seattle. I was on Capital Hill getting my haircut Saturday and spent an hour or so walking around afterwards. It was a pleasant morning with lots of people out walking dogs, jogging and just emerging from a long Winter. I have quite a few images of this walk to share in the near future.

Tulips to be

Tulips to be. It has just been too cold this Spring. The tulips are about two weeks behind, in terms of when they usually bloom. I think this coming week will be the blossoming moment. These were shot in the Capital Hill area of Seattle today.

Red seems to be the theme for this posting. The variety in nature amazes me. The different structural elements of each plant seem endless.

: Cactus

I’m probably one of the few people on the planet that has killed every cactus plant I have ever owned or nourished. Most plants do well under my care, but every cactus I have tried to grow and care for has ended up dried and withered within months.

: Cactus cluster

I guess that is why I enjoy viewing & shooting them. Just amazing symmetry!
