Birds at the Bath

A fledgling Spotted Towhee hung out by the pond

for quite a while last evening

White-crowned Sparrow enjoys the water


Wilson's Warbler waiting it's turn

All these birds are nesting in our yard

Gnome Plant re-appears

Marilyn came over yesterday for a hike......

and after dinner ride to the harbor


We had just started up the Waxmyrtle Trail

when Marilyn spotted a cluster of Gnome Plants,

(Hemitomes congestum)

same as I found on the China Creek trail last year!

Wow! What a find, a new place to see them.


Azalea Occidentale, the Oregon native in the garden

just coming into bloom and very fragrant

Rhododendron macrophyllum

The best native rhododendron display I've seen


since I've lived here. Really wow!


Each plant grows from seed so each one is different.


There is every variation on the theme.


The cool weather has let the blossoms last.
