Friday Favorites

Here are a few of my favorite plant photos.

Cow Parsnip.  North Cascades.

Ice-encrusted rose bush. My house.

Lily. Mima Mounds Preserve.

Grasses growing at Slate Peak.

Water lily. Cambodia.

A late summer evening in Pt. Defiance park brought this chubby bumble bee to a perfectly shaped pink dahlia.
As i took this photo another parkgoer asked derek for permission to shoot a couple images of Kaya... i'd like to see those photos, too : )

To the Market

A recent trip to Pike Place Market yielded many photos i'm pleased with. Unfortunately, my camera has revolted and there seems to be light leaking in, as there are irritating white lines through most of the photos.

Lily Love

This gorgeous little lily resided along a trail on Orcas Island, in the San Juan island cluster in Washington, 2007. I couldn't choose just one angle on the little petals, so here are two : ). It's a tiny little flower on a short stem (maybe 13 cm?), so i got a bit muddy in the process.

(Possibly a white fawn lily, Erythronium oregonium.)
