Big News

The big news at the Viewpoint is that the Sentinel is about three quarters of the way yellow now. And so are most of the bigleaf maples down below. There's still some green on many leaves of these trees, but for the most part, the transformation from green to yellow occurred almost overnight--unless I just wasn't paying attention. And down around the bay, and in Laurelhurst, there was a veritable riot of color to be observed. It looked so beautiful alongside the dull pale blue and periwinkle tones of the water and sky, especially when the sun showed itself wanly for just a couple minutes. The squirrels were at it again, and there was quite a parade of dog walkers, many of them with little dogs today. And the people wore interesting outfits. There were lots of knit items in oranges, reds and purples--both bright and muted.
