A few dozen lady beetles lovemaking on the local plum tree. It's that time of year. #photography #nature #gardening #spring

Spent a few nights in Harrison Hot Springs, British Columbia (Canada). One of my fav places in the world. It rained and even hailed most of the time, but when it didn't, we got the most spectacular rainbows. And yes, American friends are welcome to visit Canada :)

It's dark and pouring rain in the #PNW this afternoon. So here's a dahlia pic from my community garden last summer :)

Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining;
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

In fact, it was snowing beneath this dark storm cloud that moved rapidly over us, with sun on either side :) Near Vancouver, Canada

Lessons from the ocean: Be like a holdfast. The holdfast of bullwhip kelp anchors kelp stems up to 100ft long and provides shelter to 100+ species. It's dainty looking, but tough enough to withstand some of the wildest ocean storms. Life continues on.

Go outside and get some sunshine, it'll make you feel better & help fortify you for the times ahead. Edible & visual proof that sunshine is important: The 1/2 of my red sails leaf lettuce that gets more sunlight is bright red. The shadier side is much greener. #balconygardening #eatyourvegetables

Kissing cousins. Two pinguicula flowers lean towards each other. These carnivorous plants can mass murder fungus gnats, but they sure make some dainty, pretty little flowers.

The sun breaks out in the aftermath of a #PNW rainstorm. Remember that if we can imagine things getting better, it is possible for them to get better. A pendulum swings both ways.

A palate cleanser-fairy inkcap mushrooms that popped up in some moss my kid brought home and is trying to grow on a rock on the bookshelf. A reminder that beautiful things can happen in the most random of circumstances and life finds a way. #photography #indoorgardener
