A mustard yellow house with a salmon colored soffit. Is dinner calling?

That bright red object in the carport is, amazingly, their car.

A corner shot of a mid century modern house with mustard yellow siding, white trim, a flat roof and salmon pink soffit under the roof overhang. The front wall of the house is covered halfway up with textured sand colored stone. There is a sturdy carport with wooden posts and a metal roof at the front of the house, and you can see glimpses of a bright red car partially hidden by the bushes lining the port. The house has the split levels typical of the Seattle hillside areas, with a partially below ground floor

A nice weeping birch. Most that I have seen are diseased and variously trimmed to unshapely messes. Tbh, they are short-lived trees and may have been fashionable 40 or so years ago.

A weeping birch growing in a front yard, next to a wooden fence, dominates the Japanese maples and crabapples around it. The three part trunk is mostly white, with black and gray patches. The leafy branches, about 20 feet up (~7m) droop down and form a nice cascade of green backlit by the morning sun. The sidewalk leads to a tunnel of small street trees and front yards full of shrubs.

Was looking at redosier dogwood (Cornus sericea) berries, was visited by this crane fly

A cluster of round white dogwood berries droops down amid the bush's oval green leaves. There is a dead leaf on the ground, turning bright yellow. The leaf and berry stems are a somber red,  which gets brighter in winter. A pale tan crane fly has landed on a green dogwood leaf. It has very long legs that reach out beyond its translucent, golden,  veined wings,  balancing it in the middle. Its body is long and looks very fragile.

I was testing a blackberry, along came a spider and jumped out beside me

I was testing a blackberry, along came a spider and jumped out beside me

A few blackberries,  mostly ripe,  peek out from behind their serrate leaves. The leaves are still green, but are fading to autumnal yellows. The blackberries look good,  with light reflecting off their glossy druplet A common garden spider, with her pretty brown and tan decorative abdomen,  and fierce hairy legs, lurks in her web. She has just leaped out from behind some leaves, alerted by my berry picking. Alas, I am too large to be useful prey.
