Seattle's Urban Villages

Friday Photo...Snow the First Day of December!

Last week for Friday Photo I wrote that it was beginning to look a lot like Christmas....  Well, the next day on Saturday, December 1st we had snow!  Not our average December weather.

Since I did not have an Open House that Saturday, I decided to take the day off to go shopping with a friend for Christmas decorations.  We had snow flurries at University Village, and when we went to the West Seattle Target there was lots more snow.

Afterwards we drove along Beach Dr, then Alki and back to Seattle, the snow was lovely!

Friday Photo: October Sunshine and a Red Sailboat

The gray days we've been having vanish and a sparkling Sunny October Day appears, and this red sailboat takes advantage....

Driving with a friend on Alki Point in West Seattle we spotted this red sailboat sailing Elliott Bay with Magnolia (and a large red bottomed container ship) in the backgorund.  It's days like this that make living in Seattle a joy.

Friday Photo - Fall Color in Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum

Last Sunday was a mostly sunny day, so late in the afternoon after my Open House in Montlake, I went for a drive through Seattle's Washington Park Arboretum to see some fall color and Wow...did I see color!

The Japanese Maples were glowing with color beneath the dark evergreens, just beautiful....
