My Flaming Daylily

I have a rogue daylily in my garden. Glowing the colors of fire, it stands at least a foot above the yellow daylilies.

Three hearts in the dark

I love how clover leaves look like little hearts.

Luna de la Fresa (Strawberry Moon)

Strawberry Moon
My mouth
feels empty
under this
Strawberry Moon.
Come fill me with
your sweet, juicy words.

Luna de la Fresa
Mi boca
siente vacía
debajo de esta
Luna de la Fresa.
Venido lléneme de
sus palabras dulces y
jugosas.

Do you know Spanish? I welcome any suggestions on my translation.

First Blossom

My first Daylily blossom of the season!

Yellow Tear in Garden Red

Mushroom Magic

All the rain we’ve been getting lately has created ripe conditions for mushrooms to sprout up in my yard. They are fascinating, and I like to imagine myself 1″ tall, standing underneath them.

Did you know that the largest living organism is a fungus? It lives underground, covering over 2,200 acres, and is estimated to be about 2,400 years old. How cool is that?!? Extreme Animals

Field

This is a collaboration with my son. He drew the lines, and I colored it in. He said it was a drawing of pipes, but it looked more like crop fields to me, seen from an airplane.

Wheel and Chain

I thought I would try some word play to go with one of my photos.

Heart Maze

Unlike my earlier Heart Labyrinth, which only had one path to the center, this is a maze. There are several dead ends.
