curve

one of those beautiful and surprising things in nature.
the curve of an onion blossom.

took this photo on a rainy day at my mother's farm.

pink flamingos

arrived today.

Fred & Mimi, they look like to me.






I've always wanted a pair, holding court in my back yard.

blooming. with delicate petals and enormous color.

poppy pod

soon this odd-looking pod will be one of my favorite things, a bright orange-red poppy.

peephole.

mayday

I missed the iris blooming last year, as I had not yet bought the house.
and then worried the recent late snow had hurt their efforts.

but here they begin, ready to unfurl purple into May.
