At your service, a Dalmatian fire hydrant
And Monty didn't even check it out.
#Photography #SeattleWashington #StreetArt #OurNeighborhood #Whimsy

A fire hydrant is painted white with black spots, the top and one outlet bright yellow, the other outlet with a black spot like a nose, with a yellow ring around the bottom;the whole thing evokes a Dalmatian. The hydrant is set next to a garden bed along the street.

Monty, a small closely trimmed gray shih tzu looks at a decorative fire hydrant but isn't interested. The fire hydrant is painted white with black spots, the top and one outlet bright yellow, the other outlet with a black spot like a nose, with a yellow ring around the bottom;the whole thing evokes a Dalmatian. The hydrant is set next to a garden bed along the street.

A closeup of a cluster of wisteria flowers showing the dark lavender keels grading into the lighter lavender wings and white of the banner petals. There are yellow splotches at the base of the banner. The overall effect is an abstraction of shades of lavender and white.

Les flaneuses
Tulips look best when lounging about next to the sidewalk while people watching
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSpring #Tulips #BloomScrolling #OurNeighborhood

A few pink tulips grow haphazardly next to a stone wall. The pink is in shades from dark in the middle of the six petals to pale rose on the edges. A few of the tulip leaves are slightly bedraggled. There is a drift of white candy tuft growing down the wall on the top right, with its puffs of little flowers backdropping one of the tulips. A patch of Himalayan blackberries is trying to establish itself at the foot of the wall.

We were out really early for the dog walk, and it was already 72°F (22°C). Here is some hot hot color for your enjoyment
#Photography #SeattleWashington #LateSpring #BloomScrolling #OurNeighborhood #Smoketrees #Ninebark #Geraniums

A purple smoke tree and a gold and green ninebark bush provide some pleasing summery color contrasts. Some of the oval smoke tree leaves have sunlight striking them, creating an orange glow. You can see the lobed and serrated ninebark leaves unfurl in shades of golden orange, move to yellow ,and get greener as they age.

A purple smoke tree is fronted by vivid magenta geranium flowers rising above their palmate serrated fuzzy green leaves. The smoke tree has a panicle of orange and yellow flowers, so small they give a hazy smoky effect when you approach the tree.

Some orange and gold color pops in the greenery. Apparently this is the Oso Easy Paprika rose. A cheerful charmer

Six cheery roses make a pleasant lineup amid the glossy green roses leaves. The five ruffled gold petals are rimmed with orange. They surround the typical golden stamen swirl at the flower heart.

Color harmonizing between the house and front yard. . I see more and more houses breaking out of the suburban color schemes. I really like it.
#Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleSummer #OurNeighborhood #BloomScrolling #HouseTrims

The front porch and front of a slate blue house are trimmed in purple with a thread of magenta. A flower bed in the front yard echoes the color scheme with tall stemmed magenta mallows, purple lavender flowers and dusty blue green sage (I think Powis Castle wormwood).
