[...] I live in Vegas, so a trip to Seattle where it’s 68 degrees is welcome. In fact, I didn’t know how welcome it was until I found myself walking around the city mumbling, “I’m wearing a jacket.” At a certain point I started telling this to strangers. One lady said to me, “That’s a true statement.” She was a bit snarky, so I proved that I wasn’t weird by showing her it was so cool that even trees were wearing sweaters. [...]

Lovely photos! Just getting back into film myself, your blog is inspiring!
Thank you Erica! Do you have a blog? I’d love to see your photos :)
ohhhhhh those trees are amazing!!!
They are so cheerful!
cuddlycoo! tree socks, haha, the knits make them look like fun worms. I wonder if the birds & squirrels notice the difference.
i’ve always dreamt to see some knitting like these on trees ! That’s so sweet !
I love these, the colours are so summery! I’ve seen versions of this in Delft and Vancouver but these are by far the best.
I was wasting away at work and needed some serious whatever to save me when I started clicking on blogs I had viewed from long ago and came to yours .. thanks for the color and inspiration …
Thanks for stopping in to say hi, Wiz! Happy to inspire :)
Beautiful photos! The knitted trees look beautiful :)
So colorful! You look so happy in the picture!
This is so cool! It’s completely Dr. Seuss-ish. What a great find.
p.s. I love the new haircut on you.
oh fantastic..
Lovely. For some reason I see a resemblance to the long neck of a giraffe!
wow, this is so cooll! such a unique and funny idea!! great!
Love these knitted trees – who wouldn’t want to hug them : )
When was this? I’m from the Seattle area and just stumbled upon your blog and love your pictures! I’m more of a writer than a photographer, but love finding places in the Puget Sound area to take photos of — of course, they’re nowhere near as good as yours, but you’re definitely giving me ideas. I’ll definitely be checking you blog out some more!
