Today we went hiking at Meerkerk Rhododendron Gardens here on Whidbey Island.
It was pouring rain, so we had the acres of garden and forest all to ourselves!

The rain made calming sounds and all the plants were glistening and dewy.

Green for Snap it.

The green really jumps off the page. One of the many things I love about the rain is not only the sound but that it keeps other people away. I'm sure you enjoyed your hike immensely.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport.
