Some people get tired of looking at photographs of flowers or plants. At times, I do too. Some consider flower photographs boring. Maybe, but not right now.

I’ve taken oodles of photos in my yard this spring. I can’t seem to help myself and I don’t apologize. They make me feel good. No, good is such a non-descriptive word. They make me smile. They capture a particular moment in time when the wind died down and the light was soft. I’m pleased with the apparent simplicity. A chorus of birdsong set a mood like any other musical masterpiece might do.

They represent a little beauty every day. Simple, yet resilient. Having lain dormant then coming back to life with an energy and determination that few take into consideration. I wonder if I’m as resilient as I once was. I wonder if my energy and determination will again flourish as these marvels of nature.

  1. i’ve loved this stroll through your garden. i can appreciate all the work. the past few weeks, we’ve been planting another large garden of another side of our home, so we’re pretty much surrounded by gardens now. so hot, so tired, so fulfilling.

  2. I love you yard photos, and I think anything that brings you joy and makes you smile is a worthwhile endeavor. I appreciate seeing some of the plants you grow that I can’t in our heat and humidity. :0
