Carolannie<p>Here they are again! Arctic sweet coltsfoot (Petasites frigidus) on a warm sunny PNW day. I decided the dog and I should check out the muddy trails to see if anything was finally blooming, and anything was!<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NativePlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativePlants</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleWashington</span></a> 🌿📷 <a href="https://c.im/tags/CowenPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CowenPark</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleOlmstedParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleOlmstedParks</span></a></p>

Carolannie<p>Some blue-green lichen (possibly Hypogymnia and Platismatia spp) growing on a fallen branch in the park. There were several trees felled by the windstorms, blocking the main trails. I would guess trees fell in most of the parks because the wind were strong and from an unusual direction.<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleWashington</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/RavennaParkSeattle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RavennaParkSeattle</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleOlmstedParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleOlmstedParks</span></a></p>

Carolannie<p>Walking along the street to Cowen Park, I chanced upon a Pacific yew tree (Taxus brevifolia). It was pretty fair sized. I usually only see shrubby yew hedges, so seeing a tree was interesting. I also liked its symmetrical leaves and pretty seed cones. Apparently, the soft aril is edible, but the seeds are toxic as is the rest of the plant. <br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleWashington</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleAutumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleAutumn</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleOlmstedParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleOlmstedParks</span></a></p>
Carolannie<p>Big leaf maple trees do not turn a uniform lovely yellow in fall, but instead gradually brown out. I don't know if this is just how they are, or if the powdery mildew that covers them in late summer is a factor. But they still glow in autumn colors against the sky.<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/Photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Photography</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleWashington" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleWashington</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleAutumn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleAutumn</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/CowenPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CowenPark</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/SeattleOlmstedParks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SeattleOlmstedParks</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/NativePlantsOfThePNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>NativePlantsOfThePNW</span></a></p>
