in late september, i had the opportunity to fly to seattle AND new hampshire back to back (whew) and what a whirlwind trip. anyhow..got to spend some time with both girls – val and i had a great walk through the seattle gardens..

i thought this tree was really cool..


this reminded me of the scene in wizard of oz – where the flying monkeys attack!

and this tree had the weirdest bark..


I love and adore maiden hair fern..


a nice photo of val…

the one tree in the forest that day that had some color..

and a wicked cool bridge that went over the highway – kinda creepy – reminds me of a troll bridge..
