I have been focusing on the beautiful leaves and trees, but at North Beach there are still flowers stubbornly blooming, even though it has been near freezing every night for the last week.

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.

Changing
So is the tree vacuuming all of the nutrients and chlorophyll out of the leaves? Or do the leaves send the nutrients back themselves and glory in their colors before falling? Or both? Who is a tree expert out there?

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.
