PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Saturday, April 13, 2013. I forget to begin with the last post in a series, so that the introduction will print first. Ah well, the explanation comes now at the end of 3 Tulip posts, here. Another brook of grape hyacinth rushes between rank and file of colors:. Some varieties have this eye-catching stripe on the leaves:. These 3 are some variety of "Parrot" tulip;. Almost more fetching to me than the bright ones. I love the antique, flirtatious Victorian look:. When the inv...

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Friday, March 6, 2015. The first official day-long ramble of the year: Anacortes! Heading north, Pat and I had to exit the freeway before even reaching our destination because Mt. Baker was such a blatant attention-getter. Of course, we scoped the farm roads for the best view:. On a trail near a marina we were rewarded not only with blue heron and eagle, but the. First hummingbird sighting of the year. So early! His neighborhood well; location, location, location:.

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Saturday, February 28, 2015. It was time to check out the Nisqually Delta Wildlife Preserve. To hopefully meet this year's new baby owls. The trips of the previous 2 years have paid off in that I got great views of twins, and then triplets (can be seen on my blog for February 2013 and 2014). It was a perfect day; refreshingly cool air and overhead sun,. And I could be alone as I hiked. Wrinkly new wild rose petals:. Flag of the new season, a backlit willow leaf:. Photo-shoo...

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Saturday, February 28, 2015. This morning's early-morning walk told me two things:. I had better get myself over to the Millpond. Because of the ground fog. Blossoms in the woods, and still-bare trees against blue sky:. Yep, just a couple of minutes from home, I was early-enough to. New residents, or visitors:. I have never seen them on the millpond before! Not a particularly great shot of Mt. Si,. But I feel compelled to capture it every time I shoot at the pond:. It seems...

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Friday, March 27, 2015. Two days ago: the last of pouring rain. Frogs, both gigantic and small, enjoy our own pond. I can almost see this guy smiling. This morning, glorious and long-awaited sunshine arrived! Sunrise was swift, and I barely got down to the Mill Pond. Before I saw the end of the show. I was grabbing for the tails of retreating color to make the first shot:. Still fading, but I saw it was turning into a curious, old photograph kind of color:. Our kind of luck!

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Thursday, March 28, 2013. Getting close to the cormorants in the pond, I had to bushwhack. The spring snow was melting fast under the power of. New sun. All around me, new growth was glistening from snow drops,. This Weeping Willow was still shedding tears, though. The white stuff was gone. But I liked the variations of new green, storm clouds,. Dark gnarly limbs, and white textured old roof:. As I was leaving from making the above photo, the clouds and atmosphere were.

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Tuesday, May 28, 2013. During my Cousin Time I had reason to make a quick trip up to the Salt Lake. I left early on a cold morning on a day that was warming quickly, and was so surprised. To see this that I had to turn around and get a closer look. The irrigation sprinklers had just turned off in this field, but even in the direct sun,. Ice had formed to detail the wire fence. The last of April, sun, and ice! I took a break to walk around at an historic place: Cove Fort:.

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Saturday, September 14, 2013. I couldn't believe the dream came true this August. My first visit a year ago proved to me that even though I am a devoted native Pacific Northwesterner, there really does. Exist another beautiful "West Coast": the part of north-western Michigan that borders the east shore of Lake Michigan. Photo Buddy Pat and I achieved our dream of returning! What I loved seeing all over again were the many "waters' edges". So, here are a few. I don't know wh...

PERIWINKLE EYE - Images by ML. Wednesday, February 12, 2014. While on errands this week, I had a few minutes. To swing by Snoqualmie Mill Pond. I was happy to see it completely frozen,. Though it was disappointingly. Empty of water fowl. Enter my next favorite pond subject:. Cattails, warming up in the afterglow. I made this photo. With the sunrise at my back,. Which of course completely changed the color:. I was driving off when I saw the last of. The low light made for a silhouette, so had to get.
