Sunset over Victoria Harbour, B.C.
27 02 2011© Cindy Dyer. All rights reserved.
This is one of my favorite sunset images, shot from the ferry as we entered Victoria Harbour in British Columbia on a trip we took with my friend Sue and her mother in fall 2008. See lots more photos from that wonderful trip in the links below:
Lavender, shopping, cheese, wine, a whale, and yet another sunset
Virginia creeper-clad Fairmont Empress Hotel
Dahlias as far as the eye can see…
Shine on, shine on harvest moon…
Visual and aural overload at Pike Place
If it’s Thursday, this must be Bloedel.

It’s a jungle out there
28 05 2009Shot of our front yard garden taken this afternoon…
Just past bloom: White & purple Bearded Iris and Purple Sensation Allium
Debuting now: Beard’s Tongue, Catmint, Veronica Speedwell, Creeping Thyme, Sweet William, Penstemon, Rose Campion (blush pink-white and bright pink varieties), Hellebores, Sedum, Yellow Yarrow, Nasturtium, White Dianthus, Pink Phlox, Hosta flowers, Ageratum, Evening Primrose ‘Lemon Drop’, Strawflower, Geraniums
Very-soon-to-bloom: Globe Thistle, Lavender (various), Coreopsis, Tickseed, Lilies (various) and Salvia
And later in the season: Butterfly bush (pink, yellow, purple varieties), Coneflower (various varieties)
Platycodon Balloon Flower (purple and white varieties), Shasta Daisies, Black-eyed Susan, Monarda Bee Balm, Lamb’s Ear, Morning Glory ‘Heavenly Blue’, Sedum ‘Autumn Joy’, Maximilian sunflower
Ha! And this is just the list of plants in the front yard. Proof enough that I’m a gardener obsessed.
Got a question for my fellow gardeners…what is the weed (looks a lot like the tops of celery plants or almost cilantro-looking leaf) that is taking over my entire garden in spades? Why have I not noticed this prolific pest in previous years? Is it a new invasive? Do I need to photograph it for identification?
