Our world is an amazingly beautiful place
Mountains cloaked in clouds, blue-green waters kissing white sand.
I see beauty in everything outside my backdoor, I wonder if you see it too …

Visitors to the Gardens
As much as I love the flora of a garden, the fauna is why I plant. The creatures of Gaia’s world are welcomed, no, encouraged to jump the garden-gate and enjoy the fruits of labor. Some I have planted, some they have shared. If I find there is something they like that I also cherish, I have learned to give it up and plant something we can both enjoy.
Each month someone new emerges or enters. The diversity of color, shape and purpose is mesmerizing.

Intimate Spaces
A garden for a gardener is a reflection
A reflection of who they are
Each bed is a piece of a puzzle once completed mirrors the gardener’s soul
A piece of planned chaos – a piece of chromatic flora – a piece of neutral shades
Come, walk the garden paths and meet me
The Late Winter Garden
Diminutive in stature
Hidden beneath leaves and snow
Breaking free from Gaia’s icy grip hoping to bask in sol’s warming rays
Sun and color collide
The Last of the Winter’s Snow
It began as dusk descended, as fine as the sand on a crescent beach
The light from passing cars reflected their crystalline structure
These wind-blown diamonds struck my cheeks It felt as though a thousand pins had assaulted me
Soon the wind died and the snow crystals were attracted to one another as the north and south poles of a magnet
They cascaded bumping into one another combining to create snowflakes
The night was no longer dark – White enveloped the landscape
I awoke to a quiet stillness
The Iris and the Lily
