The last photo with the ethereal mountain in the background is arresting! I love the quotes you choose to go with your images.I hope your week is going well.
That mountain shot is ethereally lovely. And what gorgeous flowers to enjoy up on the roof. Life looks good where you are.
Oh I love those oval planters. Have a lovely week.
I will sign up for MY WORLD later tonite as they block access to that page here at work.
Lovely photos , always a pleasure to see sights of your world.
Gorgeous shots. The flowers are beautiful.
I'm so glad you had a beautiful weekend. Your world is so lovely.
Those are fantastic containers for the flowers on the roof, Sylvia. Also, love the quote about how quickly a lie will travel. The header caught my eye as usual, particularly the fellow who is using a turtle for a pillow. These little stick people are blossoming and become more fleshed out every day. Delightful work!!
I love your container garden! Oh my word, that view on the last picture--priceless! :)
Those flower containers are wonderful Sylvia. And sio nice they are on the roof for everybody to enjoy. The mountainphoto is awesome. What a besutiful sight. Have a good week.
A wonderful post for the day Sylvia! And I am so glad you had this weather too :)
All flowers and the warmth with sunny weather ... oh how much we need it!
We are gong to have very nice weather for some days this week - love it!
I've never seen a roof garden before. That's really neat!
Mt Rainier looks as if it floating!
Looks like these rooftop gardens are doing very well.
i LOVE those roof gardens! obviously it stays much cooler there than in Texas as here they'd be fried to death. :) the mountain looks so cool...
Lovely photos, wonderful sayings to go with them.
Have to again - love your banner. Fresh and summery!

Great series again!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Roof gardens--how great is that. Pretty much anybody, anywhere can grow beautiful flowers. The photo of Mt. Rainier is outstanding!!! Wow, what a view to have. Mickie :)
Sylvia,
Oh, how beautifully the flowers are blooming!! Mountain is so cool and magnificent!!!
Thank you! Your photos refresh and energize me! Here in Nara, it is scorchingluy hot.
I do love all of photos! Have a great day!
The container gardens are really cool! I often thought I wouldn't want to live in an apartment, because I would not have access to a garden...proves how wrong you can be!
Have a great week Sylvia.
Gorgeous photos, Sylvia. Seattle is probably the most beautiful city I've seen when the sun is out, although I'd also rank Vancouver up there.
Sylvia, you must have "the full value of joy" by sharing these lovely flowers surrounding you and magnificent mountain with us. I'm also encouraged to do share my part with the world. Have a happy week!
lovely captures!
The mountains are gorgeous and I always love the quotes by Mark Twain...
Have a wonderful week ahead Sylvia:)
loved the flower containers , so wonderful captured by you . your world is indeed wonderful.
Thank you for the pretty containers of flowers, Sylvia, and for the wisdom of fellow Hartford-ite, Mr. Twain.
These are utterly amazing. Thank you!
The Mountain was amazing yesterday! And I love your roof retreat and garden.
I love your Twain quote about dividing joy Sylvia.
& wow! that shot of- is that Mount Rainier? - gorgeous!
a wonderful look at your world Sylvia. the flowers are gorgeous.
My World
Your garden is filled with bloom. Lovely view of the mountain.
Sylvia A wonder of the world have, share blue sky, light, color, beauty, nature
Greetings .-
so pleasant is all i can say. lovely.
Hi there - I think it must be great to know that the mountain is there even if the clouds cover it. A bit like a big brother/sister you know you can phone if you need a chat!
Well maybe!
Cheers Stewart M - Australia
Those plant containers are so cool!
those flowers probably needs a lot of water now. They are beautiful.
Wow, you have a roof garden on your building ? Makes me think of our hotel in Istanbul, with the green grass "beach" and the swimming pool and the wonderful view over the city !
Sadly, I do not think we are going to get to Seattle this summer. My son has just bought a larger home on Baimbridge with a real barn and 2 acres. I am sosososo excited. Guess he really missed the county life of VA. Next year we will be out and get to see the great mountain again. A friend of ours is a guide on Ranier...I cannot imagine doing that for a living. Scary. Your pictures as always are beautiful, and I immediately noticed your new banner. You are one lucky gal. Genie
Wow - impressive shot of Mt Rainier!

Beautiful! I love those container gardens, that is exactly what I want to do in our back yard. Sylvia, I posted some pics of downtown Seattle today, from when we were there on the 18th. It wasn't sunny then!
Have a great week,
Kathy M.
Nothing like Seattle on a beautiful day....nothing like your pictures and quotes on any kind of day! Thanks.
Beautiful flowers and such a stunning mountain photo.
I love the raised beds. Heather wants some more but they are a pain to build. Yours look like horse troughs.
I am always a fan of Mark Twain.
