Sunday, July 3, 2011 Sunday evening. Admitting to myself (and you) I can't keep up with gardening, blossom appreciation, Piper care, the bare minimum of housework AND blogging. (Not to mention my Monday to Friday, "9 to 5" work as a dietitian.)
So I hope you'll excuse me for publishing photographs without much commentary. But given the topic, a picture is much better than 1,000 words.
Wednesday, June 1, 2011 Many flowers and many paths, actually. For the past couple of weeks, I've been enjoying a stay-at-home, project-oriented, gardening-focused vacation.
Here are a few photographs of my favourite floral finds from recent long walks (another favourite vacation activity):
Orange poppies among the pansies
Spanish Lavender (Lavandula stoechas) at English Bay
Irises soften the concrete & glass skyline
Mystery vine with apple-coloured blossoms weaves its way through the Snowflake Viburnum (below)
Snowflake Viburnum (Viburnum opulus) & balcony bokeh
In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day.
No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.
~Aldo Leopold
Happy June, everyone. What's blooming in your gardens & neighbourhoods now?
