Nature, art, photography, science, tech, books, languages. I’m a fan of those who help build toward the common good.
These orange Poppies were not only a stunningly luminous orange color in the full sun, but contained this amazing anatomical form at their center. I had no idea that Poppies were so structurally complex! When we pay attention in life, the mundane becomes extraordinary.

Breathing in, I am calm. Breathing out, I am at peace.
Look up through the blossoms, and remember that the beauty of the world endures. Yes, despite all.

Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose

Here, as a symbol of all that is good and pure in the world, is a honeybee happily getting buzzed on nectar as she collects pollen in a rose garden. Wishing caring community and safety to everyone, wherever they might be.

It might be another couple of months before true spring arrives, but the Camellias will start showing up in February. Can’t wait!

I drew eyes for a while 25 years ago. All that remains are these few bits and pieces. I kind of like them just as they are, but I wonder what I had in mind back then. #projectslostintime

Happy New Year to you! May 2025 bring the world closer to peace and unity. Not a small request, it’s true. And may this new year move each of us closer to our personal and professional goals. How about a little unexpectedly good news from time to time, just to balance things out? Yes, please.
