After 30 years of teaching science, I've retired and picked up my camera. My focus is my eclectic garden and my editing style is 'reality with a touch of magic'. Politically💙.
We plant our garden for year round hummingbird interest. It's working. Male Anna's hummingbird at Mahonia Charity yesterday.

Out of sync. This witch hazel, Astro Man, is supposed to be blooming in January. Possible result of the pineapple express we had?

When there is a part of the garden the deer hang out in, Osmanthus ‘Sasaba’ is a reasonable choice. Stylized

Fall doesn't mean that there no new flowers to photograph. Mahonia russellii is just beginning to bloom in my garden.

PSA: Those fake spiderweb decorations made of thin, stretchy fibers are very dangerous for #birds. Their feet get caught in them and they can't get loose. The trapped birds are easy pickings for predators or slowly starve. Please don't include fake webbing like that in your holiday decor.

Garden textures. Peony leaves with water droplets from a leaky hose. Surprises abound around the garden, if you look for them. Stylized.

The beauty in aging. The Sevens Sons tree has white flowers the bees and hummers love, but after they're spent the reddish calyxes remain behind to make the tree glow. Double exposure. Stylized.

Fall color comes in different forms. Cyclamen in waves of pink and white. Slightly stylized.
