		<description><![CDATA[We leave the Christmas lights on the Korean Fir in our front yard garden through much of January to brighten the long winter nights and in hopes of getting a little snow. This year we had to wait until January 17 to get our first snowfall of the winter. Tonight, the 18th, I took my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I spent the day yesterday at the 2011 Northwest Flower and Garden Show in Seattle. It&#8217;s become an annual journey down the freeway to partake of early-season gardening inspiration, as well as a time to reconnect with many good friends in the garden writing and photography community. The show is one of the world&#8217;s best [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Our family takes a pretty low-key approach to the holiday season. We&#8217;re not much for decorating nor major shopping leading to massive gifting. The important thing is sharing time and food together. So in that spirit here are four images from our Thanksgiving feast, in anticipation of the Christmas feast to come in a few [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Resist the temptation. Do not get in a hurry to cut down those spent flower stems when the blooms fade. Dry flower heads, seedpods really, can be almost as interesting as the flowers were. And many of them are attractive to small birds that come foraging for a mid-day snack. This container, sitting on a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When you were first starting to take pictures you probably learned to put the sun behind you. At least that&#8217;s what I was taught way back in the &#8217;60s. The results were predictably poor: harsh shadows, squinting little sisters, ugly light, and washed out colors. As you learned more and developed your skills you maybe [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was down in Eugene, Oregon last week to speak on garden photography to the Willamette Valley Hardy Plant Group, a nice gathering of passionate gardeners. About 60 folks came out for the program and many let me know they got some inspiration from it. Since I&#8217;d driven over 350 miles to get there I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been way too much work and too little play in my life lately. I had an errand to run in Seattle so I headed south this morning, did my shopping, and headed across Lake Washington to the Bellevue Botanical Garden. It&#8217;s one of my favorite public gardens in the region, a delight in any [...]]]></description>

It seems like just yesterday that I joined with dozens of other Birchwood Garden Club members to visit three more unique and interesting Bellingham gardens on a warm summer evening in the golden sunset light. It&#8217;s actually been a couple of weeks, August 4 to be precise. First up [...]]]></description>

It was the evening of the Birchwood Garden Club July members-only private garden tour, a delightful opportunity to visit four very nice Bellingham gardens. If you&#8217;re not a member of an active garden club, like Birchwood, you&#8217;re missing out on seeing [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Skagit Symphony Orchesta&#8217;s annual fundraising garden tour, Gardens of Note, was held last weekend. This is the second year I&#8217;ve headed down to our neighboring county to check out some wonderful gardens and I wasn&#8217;t disapointed. Here&#8217;s a condensed visit to the gardens. All of the gardens on this year&#8217;s tour were on Samish [...]]]></description>
