This photo was taken at the Magnuson Park community garden in October 2015. Posted for Cee’s B&W Photo Challenge with the topic of flowers.
Rose Garden Fountain
The topic for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge this week is fountains. I love fountains, and have ever since I was a little tyke. Maybe it’s because I’m an Aquarius.
Unfortunately, I haven’t been around them much at all in recent years. Since starting this blog I’ve only seen four. Two were turned off and one was in terrible light at the time.
This fountain is in the center of the Woodland Park Rose Garden. While not very fancy, it does add quite a bit to the garden ambience.
Spotted Towhee
The spotted towhee is one of our more unusual looking tree-dwellers. They have red eyes, kinda stubby looking wings on an often chubby looking body with white chest and rufous sides, and white spots. They are year-round residents in the Puget Sound region.
Wood Duck
Most people agree that the wood duck is our most beautiful duck in the U.S. So exotic looking. They are year-round residents in the Puget Sound region, but I had never seen one before. So when I saw this guy swimming towards the view platform at Twin Ponds Park in April 2015 I almost lost my composure I was so thrilled.
