  1. Another candelabrum tree, Thuja plicata, redcedar, on a street corner. It overpowers the house next to it and intimidates pedestrians. As it should.

  6. A couple of houses on this block put up a yearly sidewalk border display of zinnias mixed in with other flowers on 20th Ave. All kinds of bees love it!

  7. Taking time to smell the smells
    That interesting purple grass is a big bluestem (Andropogon gerardi) cultivar, an elegant and lovely bunch grass. It's native to the central US and Great Plains.

  8. A month ago, I took this photo of some interestingly colored dogwood flowers, and wondered if they would turn pink. They did! And white too. And the pointy bracts filled out and are all rounded.

  9. Coast #Salish #FreedomFighters: From Alberta #TarSands to the #SalishSea

    By #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews Nov. 7, 2024

    SEATTLE -- "The dead birds floating in the #AlbertATarSands #TailingPonds, the #ManCamps linked to missing and murdered Indigenous girls, and the increased #OilTankers in the Salish Sea -- are all parts of the dirty oil of the #TransMountainPipeline pouring out of Alberta's dirty tar sands, bound for oil tankers in the Salish Sea.

    "'We are not just #activists, we are #revolutionaries and we're radical and militant and we want to keep it that way, we don't want to get soft in our older years,' said #KanahusManuel, #Secwepemc and #Ktunaxa, describing her family's struggle to protect their land and stop the Trans Mountain pipeline.

    "Speaking at the State of Emergency for The Salish Sea in #SeattleWashington on Thursday, Kanahus said, 'We are the title holders to the land.'"

  10. It's amazing to me that a city that is in a once forested area can be so bare of trees. And developers are the problem...
    "Seattle already ranks fifth in the nation for urban heat islands, posing serious health risks. The city’s 2021 tree canopy study also highlighted the unequal distribution of trees and the effects of that pattern, with people living in deforested neighborhoods like South Park and Beacon Hill experiencing shorter life spans and poorer health. While Seattle’s new Tree Canopy Equity and Resilience Plan aims to plant new trees in underserved areas, saplings on public land cannot compensate for the loss of hundreds of large, shade-providing residential trees during increasingly hot summers.
