Spring Yellow.

I'm on a little road trip in California and every thing is spring shiny yellow.

Bountiful blossoms in every shade of sunshine: 

Canary, Buttermilk, Buttercup, Cream, 

Lemon, Afternoon Sunlight, Dandelion, Chiffon Dream,

Custard, Banana, Chick and Duckling, Bee,

Corn, Pencil, Taxi Cab, Autumnal Tree.

I hope your day is filled with golden light, a blossom or two

and colors that make you think in pictures.

Roses at Gamble Garden.

Going to California for the weekend.

Hope to visit Gamble Garden.

Here is a shot from my last visit.

Cactus Garden.

During Thanksgiving in California we visited the

Arizona Cactus Garden on the campus of Stanford University.

It was first planted in 1880 and is an amazing 

collection to wonder through and enjoy.

All the textures were so wild and different from each other.

It was quite a treat.

Looking back on Summer

A little look back at a summer trip to California.

Gamble Gardens, Palo Alto.

Autumn is upon us in Oregon, leaves are changing,

the chill has set in, the Juncos in the yard are busy eating

seeds and fattening up for the long winter ahead.

It feels like it's time to cozy up with tea, a wool blanket,

and a good book.  Any reading recommendations?
