Halloween may be over but some things are still pretty good
#Photography #SeattleWashington #Halloween2026 #OurNeighborhood

A red pickup up truck is seen from behind, with its tailgate open. Some hay is scattered over the bed, with a few bales stacked against the cabin. There is a skeleton in a fancy brown garden hat sitting against the cabin, holding a pitchfork, surrounded by pumpkins with various things painted on them. One has Snoopy sleeping on top of his red doghouse. Another has a bat flying through the sky. Two have faces painted on them imitating the American Gothic painting by Grant Wood, with grandpa holding a tiny pitchfork. On the left side is a crate full of straw, with skeleton hands and feet sticking out and a pumpkin head; it looks like pumpkin zombie is trying to rise! The truck is parked in a residential area with a tree lined street glowing in red fall colors. The street is littered with red oak leaves.

#SilentSunday #Photography

Looking through a bridge arch. This is the arch of the single span Cowen Park Bridge in Seattle. The photo is from slightly above the foundation, with both sides of the arch forming an ellipsoid framing for the autumn hued trees on the other side. A leaf covered trail leads between the legs of the arch. Its gray concrete looks a bit weathered. The colors were processed in a faded vintage style, to emphasize the lines of the arch. Wikipedia :" The bridge was built in 1936 under the authority of the Works Progress Administration. The bridge engineer was Clark Eldridge.[1] The structure is listed in the National Register of Historic Places,[2] and it is a designated city landmark.[3] The bridge has been praised for the 12 ft (3.7 m) Art Deco light standards along its sides.[4]" The bridge has been retrofitted to resist earthquakes.

Shaggy parasol (Chlorophyllum rhacodes or olivieri? ) growing under Redwood trees
#FungiFriends #FungiLovers #Photography #SeattleWashington #SeattleAutumn #Mushrooms #ShaggyParasol #SeattleParks #CowenPark

A rounded mushroom cap is growing amid Redwood duff, grass and weeds in Cowen Park. The cap is white with reddish brown scales. The cap looks finely shaggy. Turning the mushroom over, you can see it's larger than it first appeared. The cap rim is shaggy. The gills are crowded and a light tan. The ring on the stipe is creamy white, detached, and also shaggy looking. The stipe is fairly slender, colored reddish orange below the ring, with a bulbous foot. The flesh turned a reddish shade when broken. Although it is listed as edible, some people are very sensitive and get quite sick when eating them. I'll pass!

A burst of stored sunshine

Looking up into a tulip tree with its tulip shaped leaves, you could be blinded by the sunlight reflected off the leaves, which glow in shades of amber, gold, yellow and orange.
