Summer!

I took this photo a long time ago, but it still says “summer” to me. Well, that, and Tinkerbell. I’ve never figured out what made this little bloom glow in the middle, so I’ve always chalked it up to this quote: “Garden fairies come at dawn, bless the flowers, then they’re gone.” On that note: happy first day…

Before I forget…

My friend Jean’s new magazine “Splendid” features a few of my photos — and you can view the whole publication if you click here. It’s really lovely. She amazes me. I could not be more thrilled/honored/silly-giddy that she included some of my work.    (My photo in this post has nothing to do with the magazine. Or anything else…

I’ve placed a number…

At the Office

Office wildflowers might be gently starting the down slide after their peak, but they are still gorgeous. They really outdid themselves this year.
