~ Pink Flamingos ~ Cee’s Odd Ball Photo Challenge: 2015 Week #49 ~

Posted on December 6, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

When I saw these pink flamingos perched in a neighbor’s yard, I had to pay attention.

Turns out to be for a worthy cause — Doernbecher Children’s Hospital — one of the nations best pediatric hospitals!

Jello is one of the more photogenic dogs I’ve had the pleasure to have be part of my family.

She loves to sit on Creighton’s lap and, as you can see, he enjoys her attention too!

From viticulture to vinification

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

As a former home wine maker, I found this post from drdblogs refreshing and fun. Thought my wine loving friends would enjoy it too!

MccLV overview

Living close to not one, but at least four world class wine regions, we see the transition in the vines and their fruit throughout the year. Take a brief stroll through our- and a grape’s- year.

~ Bird’s Eye View ~ Two Picidae Friday Flyers + WPC – Eye Spy 1 ~

Posted on December 4, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

Our suet feeders are visited regularly by Downy Woodpeckers and Northern Flickers.

It was a joy to watch adult Downy’s bring their fledglings to the feeder last spring. This year I have seen, though not photographed Yellow Shafted Flickers in the area. Beautiful big birds, Northern Flickers are very cautious and will fly off into the trees at even a small movement.

~ Clouds – C B & W Anything That Flies Challenge + Transition -5 ~

Posted on December 3, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

High flying clouds like this are characteristic of Vancouver, Washington – USA. Situated on the Columbia River about 90 miles (145 k) from the Pacific Ocean, we experience changeable marine weather here. Sometimes it’s quite dramatic!

Clouds — what would our world be without them?

~ Tuesday Two by Two + WPC Transition 3 ~

Posted on December 1, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

When I first introduced Rudbeckia and Echinacea into the sunny front gardens my intent was twofold; to enjoy the plethora of lovely blossoms from summer to fall, and to provide food and habitat for migrating birds in fall and winter.

Happily, both purposes are being met!

~ Monochrome Monday + WPC Transitions ~

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

Hydrangea thrives in my gardens. I love their abundant blue blossoms which cheer me whenever I look at them.

Over the course of a hot summer, the plants that get direct sunlight turn almost a rust color. These two shots are of blossoms from the same plant at different times in the season.

By autumn the blues have faded into shades of green, sometimes becoming a shimmering opalescent. After a hard frost, the blooms are fading, though they still hold onto some of their subtle beauty.

Transitions

Posted on November 30, 2015 by Lindy Le Coq

On my walks this stand of trees has attracted my attention all autumn. They still hold on to some last golden leaves, made more beautiful lit by the sun and silhouetted against the bright blue sky.
