Not my usual flower/plant pic but how can I not share a pic from today’s outing on Lake Washington with the #Seattle skyline in the background and the #sun shimmering on the water? #PhotographersofBlueSky #Photography #Nature #LakeWashington #NotJustBlooms #PNW #Nature

#Sunflowers decorated my room when I was growing up. I spotted this one leaving Costco this evening and had to pull over to take a pic. I love the ridges in the petals and the different shapes of the shadows. #MacroMonday #PhotographersofBlueSky #Seattle #Nature #BloomScrolling #Photography

There’s something about a #daisy that always makes me #smile. They’re simple and bright. #Daisies #DaisyDays #HappyFlower #happy #BloomScrolling #PhotographersofBlueSky #Photography #Nature

Honeysuckle always reminds me of summertime. We had it in the backyard growing up. But I’d never seen a pink honeysuckle until today! Same scent, same shape, just dressed up differently. #Honeysuckle #SummerMemory #BloomScrolling #Nature #BackyardBotany #PhotographersofBlueSky #Photography

This amaryllis belonged to my grandma. She passed over 20 years ago, and it still blooms. Cardinals were her favorite bird. This red doesn’t feel soft; it feels like her. #Amaryllis #LegacyInBloom #MemoryInPetals #GardenGrief #BloomScrolling #PhotographersofBlueSky #Nature #Photography

The fuchsia’s finally showing off and the hummingbirds are fully on board. Bright, layered, a little theatrical. Hard to blame them for being obsessed. #FuchsiaSeason #HummingbirdApproved #BloomScrolling #PetalLayers #GardenWatch #Nature #PhotographersofBlueSky #Bloomscrolling #Photography

While visiting a tile workshop in Fes, I looked up and saw this perfectly framed image. Sometimes the most ordinary view holds the reminder: beauty doesn’t need to announce itself. Thought it was the perfect image for #WindowsonWednesday #Fes #Morocco #QuietBeauty #PhotographersofBlueSky

The first photo I saw of the back of a plant captivated me. Not long after, I bought my first orchid, a favorite subject for #macrophotography. I’m drawn to the #structure behind the flower or plant. The pattern on this elephant ear is striking in the sun. #TextureTuesday #PhotographersofBlueSky

Pansies aren’t known for thriving in summer, but I do my best to keep mine going. I can’t resist their faces—full of personality and character. #Pansies #FlowerFaces #SummerGarden #BloomScrolling #PhotographersofBlueSky #photography #MacroMonday

All packed in and unapologetically saturated. There’s something about geranium red that feels both classic and unruly at the same time. #Geraniums #SummerColor #PetalCloseup #GardenGlow #PhotographersofBlueSky #photography #nature

Not a lot of space to work with, and still manages a full gradient—violet to gold without breaking a sweat. Violas might be small, but they don’t play small. #Viola #BloomScrolling #PetalDetails #ColorStudy #GardenCloseup #PhotographersofBlueSky #Photography #PNW #Seattle

Bright and crinkled, like it opened under pressure. Hidden just enough to feel like a surprise. Squash blossoms don’t stick around long, but they always bring something bold. #SquashBlossom #ContainerGarden #BloomScrolling #BackyardBotany #GardenPause #PhotographersofBlueSky #Squashblossom

That stretch of time where nothing looks like it’s changing—then one morning, there’s color. Green now, but give it a minute. #TomatoWatch #PatioGarden #SummerSlow #TomatoThursday #PhotographersofBlueSky #Tomatoes #Photography #Gardening

#Hydrangeas have always been a favorite—big, full blooms made up of all these small, dainty flowers. When I was a little girl, I used to pick as many as I could carry and make my own bouquets. #Photography #PhotographersofBlueSky #GardenMemory #BloomScrolling #nature #PNW

All lines and layers, repeating but never exactly the same. The kind of pattern that feels intentional and a little wild at the same time. Ferns showing up for Texture Tuesday. #TextureTuesday #PatternInNature #LeafDetails #PhotographersofBlueSky #Bloomscrolling #Fern #Photography #Nature #Textures

Subtle on the outside, complicated in the middle. Pale pink, a little gold, just doing its thing. #QuietBloom #GardenPause #SoftAndStrong #MacroMonday #PhotographersofBlueSky #photography #BloomScrolling

This #dahlia has got some real don’t-rush-me energy. All tucked in, taking its time to open up. Fair enough. #GoodThingsComeToThoseThatWait #PhotographersofBlueSky #Layers #LetItUnfold #photography #nature #bloomscrolling

This #dahila did not show up halfway. Pink tips, soft yellow center, every detail dialed in. I’ll take this kind of quiet boldness any day. #PhotographersofBlueSky #nature #bloomscrolling #photography #flowers

This morning’s #FlowersonFriday - one of my #Daylillies starting to open up. This one is a fiery stack of petals. Yes, the colors are this vibrant! Zero editing. #PhotographersofBluesky #Gardening #Bloomscrolling

I started growing #begonias about two years ago and they’re a joy to have in the garden! This one is unbothered by our chilly (for me) PNW morning. I love the contrast of the light red/deep pink against the boldness of the yellow. #Bloomscrolling #PhotographersofBluesky #photographers #freshblooms

Raindrops keep falling on my…elephant ears! Grateful for the #rain to cool things off here in #Seattle. I try to spend time on my patio before starting the day, so, I’ll use that time to capture something with my camera to share with y’all. #PhotographersofBlueSky #Bloomscrolling #MacroPhotography

Decided I needed to focus on putting beauty and goodness into the world - and join the other #PhotographersofBlueSky. #TextureTuesday seems like a good day to start. Picture of a leaf from my #Ginkgo in today’s #Sunset in #Seattle. Enjoy the #bloomscrolling. #naturephotography #leaves
