Scenes of Fall

Hello from Seattle where we are well into the fall.  After a record breaking spell of dryness, the rains have returned, the days are shorter, and the beauty continues.  The photos we're sharing today are all from the iPhone, except for the last one from the Sony RX100. Please be sure to click on a photo to see the larger views.

Nearly full moon over Green Lake last night
Walking in the rain ... yes, we do that!

Watch out for the puddles


Color at Seattle's Japanese Garden ... late afternoon

Reflections

Late afternoon and sun is low in the sky

This morning's moon over Seattle
 with Two Union Tower reflecting
 the dawn in the East
We wish to express special gratitude to all who leave us the kind, encouraging comments.  And of course, thank you all for stopping by John's Island.

    I have no idea what I like best : the full moonlight reflection shot ? Or the Seattle Japanese Garden... I'll keep them both in my heart.

    Lovely photographs, John! Such vivid, bright autumn colors in Seattle. I especially like the reflection captures which show twice the beauty. Delightful post!
