Leftist Christian, astronomy nerd, Disney adult, lover of animals and Japanese gardens, gay husband and hummingbird-dad. If I follow you, I’m an admirer of your art or ideas.
Husband and I went to a dahlia event in Canby, Oregon a few weeks ago. I was not expecting to be as enchanted as I was by these flowers. It’s this kind of beauty that survives, somehow, in this horrible moment we’re in, that inspires me to keep going, to stay strong and carry on.

Hulda Klager Lilac Gardens in Woodland, Washington. The lilacs are in bloom for only a few weeks a year. I’m going to sheepishly admit however to being more in love with some of the other flora on display. A quick but pleasant visit.

Japanese gardens are designed to look like the natural world in miniature. Here, we see an ocean or a lake and a shoreline. The human mind can now take in God‘s complicated creation in a simpler form, easier to digest and contemplate. Now one can appreciate how fragile it all is.

Portland Japanese Garden. Escaping the chaos. The koi know they are beautiful I think, little show offs 😌 .

At the Portland Japanese Garden. These curated trees, the way human creativity intersects with nature to create such beauty, bring me much amazement. I’m so happy these exist.
