Stubborn gold
It’s mostly colorful leaves at this time of year on the Olympic Peninsula, but there are a few stubborn flowers, like this dandelion.

Orange and yellow
I walked down my hill and around the Kai Tai Lagoon a few days ago. The trees are putting on an amazing show. It interests me that most of the trees the city is planting are not native. We have a lot of non-native maples. I feel a bit ambivalent, but they certainly turn red! The orange one here is an oak. There are native oaks and I have not figured out if this is one.
For Cee’s Flower of the Day. I think the leaves are taking their turn at being flowers before they fall.
Prepared for spring
Flower buds.

Up and down
The deciduous trees reach up, but shed their leaves, while the conifers reach down, to shed rain and snow.
Taken on a walk yesterday afternoon in my neighborhood.

Fan
There aren’t two roads diverged before me
But a fan of roads and possibilities
Poetry and writing, music and medicine,
Art and quilting, paints and knitting,
Cats and travel, dance and friends.
I spread the fan with joy
as life opens like a flower.
Not two roads, neither one best
but the daily gift of the sunrise and a song.

Color abstract
This is a pie plate that I use as a bird bath in my garden. With the colorful leaves and water, it becomes abstract. ii

Cellist
This is Jonathan Doyle and Sage Coy playing at the Bishop Hotel this past Tuesday.
And here is another cellist, Ben Sollee, celebrating rescuers.
