dogwood delight

lily's leaves and lavender

endless fascination with trees

 would this look more interesting upside down....hmmmm

 juicy fat buds on a magnolia tree

 moss and lichen surround the scabs but the blossoms still come

 trees and rocks!  a match made in heaven

the first buds of gorgeous maple leaves

for the love of hellebores

 like little fairy skirts dancing on the breeze

 hellebores ....such a carefree plant

 all manner of petal shapes and colors

 they push their way up through the cold cold ground

 to Awe us with their beauty

 long before most other flowers

 delicate, yet not

 white, pinks and purples

 sometimes, pale pale green

a most worthy obsession 

March, a long time coming

Cherry blossoms arrive so much earlier for Victoria, BC than at home.

They are so lush

To the side of a stunning Japanese garden sits this lovely little pot.  

The reflection of a perfectly shaped tree captures my attention.

an early morning walk along the harbor... it's just so civilized!

What fun it is to play with BAD photo's

 more of the stunning Japanese garden at the Laurel Point Inn

My very Favorite little City!  Victoria, BC

layers

What to do with those really bad out of focus photos...

 No photo is totally worthless... this looks like a block print to me... yay!

I really need to find a poem to go with this one.....
