A Red Shouldered Hawk paid me a visit yesterday. He landed about 15 feet in front of me, and was 100% focused on the other birds at our bird buffet line. So cool.

I love how the shades of these flowers reinforce each other for a lovely nuanced bouquet. Enjoy 😊

A day of pastels for everyone. While they don’t quite blend together, they do effortlessly accompany each other.
Enjoy 😊

A Red Maple leafing out on Day 1 and Day 2. The tiny red dots extruded in Day 2, with the leaves, will soon be new seedlings.

OK, actually a basket for those observant ones. I really liked the use of a variety of green leafy variegated items to enhance the use of a small bit of color.

Enjoy 😊

So many things to look at, see, enjoy, and appreciate. Too much? Maybe, but I’m good with it.
Please enjoy. 😊

New viburnum leaves with tiny flower buds. I’m always in awe of the creases and folds in their leaves.

Happy St.Patricks Day all. I know that there’s a bit too much yellow in this for a true Irish bouquet, but sorry I thought this one was prettier. Enjoy.

As a guy, I do have a bit of a bias towards color > nuance.

This bouquet is a selection not about the color, it’s about Fuschia. 😊

Grocery store orchids in cellophane.

In the viewer, I thought it looked more interesting in the abstract.
