Rain Break

The almost continuous rain that we have been getting – although nothing like the inundation that the coast is presently experiencing – stopped for a bit during my afternoon ramble which made picture collecting a bit easier. Here’s a bit of what I saw.

A backlit pine cone …

… some very calm water highlighted by the merest hint of sky-pink as the blue hour settled in …

… and some lovely water reflections of both the sky and the city lights …

… while in the meantime the rhododendron buds await spring.

Happy Saturday.

December 5’s Friday Fleurday

Although our outdoor flower season is essentially over – I have seen a few outliers but they will eventually disappear, too – I found this lovely collection of poinsettias in a greenhouse.

I don’t typically like poinsettias all that much, but this multitude looked particularly attractive.

Along with holly, they are certainly one of December’s signature flowers/plants and give the season a lot of flair.

Happy Friday.
