  2. Free range chickens, the sign warns us! We know the risks, the hens are happy old girls! They have a nice coop to sleep in, in front of the house. The owner was gardening up next to the house with two hens watching her.

  3. The flowers of our thinleaf huckleberry (Vaccinium membranaceum) are hard to spot because they are translucent and disappear against their leaves. But the berries are dark blue, easy to find and delicious.

    This one is growing in our garden, but isn't very happy. We end up cleaning out a lot of deadwood. I wouldn't recommend this as a garden plant, it really wants to be in the woods.

  4. Rhododendrons and azaleas are blooming all over! The yellow azalea is a Eurasia import, and has a lovely spicy clove-like scent. The pink to white one is probably a rosebay rhodie native to the southeast US.

  5. Species tulips are so pretty. The one on the left is a Tulipa clusiana cultivar named Danique, the one on the right a T. batalinii cultivar named Bright Gem (catalog names vary a bit).

  6. The Lutheran church up the way has a nicely tended front garden. The gardeners are gradually filling in and replacing with native plants.

  7. Amanita pantherinoides, the western panther amanita, is very toxic. Apparently it usually grows under firs in the forest, but here it is under a fir in the city.

  8. The lady on the corner who has the huge collection of hellebores now has spring flowers galore. I can hardly wait to see what she has in store for later. And her (cherry) tulip magnolia trees are magnificent too. (Looked at the photo, was misled by the pink!)

  9. The weather really battered the violets and the tulip magnolias, one so low to the ground, the other so high in the sky... but although ragged, they still are beautiful

  10. Our fruit trees: second year plum trees blooming (fruit this year?) and my native crabapple is covered with flower buds! It may fruit, we've had it for almost 6 years

  11. A stylish chicken coop in front of a neighborhood house. There are 3 chickens in residence but only one is outside at the moment.

  12. Soccer indoctrination camp on Saturdays. I swear, the kids in Seattle get more group activities than I've ever seen anywhere! This is for kids barely out of diapers, getting cheered on as they take turns bravely kicking a ball into a goal. And it's cold, so everyone is bundled up.

  13. Our native kinnickkinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi) makes a pretty groundcover. And I really don't like the Mediterranean spurge that is so popular here, but it has interesting flowers.
