I went by the house later, to photograph the flowers Bonnie's family had kept up with during her illness. Bonnie loved her flowers, and her family, many of whom were still there. I have shown other flowers of hers other years, but this was now. It will never be quite the same, so we can honor her in this way.

| Bonnie's sister, who, I believe, did most of the flower keeping. She's on the porch, and I really like this photo of her. |
May we all enjoy the beauty of flowers and of each repeating season. I'm grateful so many people I know take such good care of the outside spaces they have. I have a sister who knows all about plants and who has been sharing her knowlege of native plants for years. My other sister has invasives on her mind, and she plants trees when she is not chainsawing. I can not manage either of their obsessions, but I am glad, at least, I can take photos of gardens and woods. Thank you, wildness.
Three more photos:
The first is one I had to try hard to make, but then I didn't do the work until now to get it off the camera and on to the blog. I love my little pond, which, at the moment, seems loaded with red-winged blackbird activity after these dogwood blossoms came and went.
Two weeks ago I promised another iPhone video, which I will indeed try for tonight. Again, if it's not there when you visit this blog, it will mean EITHER that I didn't get it to work OR it's still downloading. Enjoy your family and friends. Don't believe the lies about who is our legal president. (It's Joe Biden.) Thanks as always for visiting here. Be safe. And vaccinate!

I too like the photo of Bonnie's sister.
ReplyDeleteAnd the video is awesome. The hills, the atmosphere beyond, and the rain.

Yes, I meant to mention the atmosphere of the gray clouds and the rain. Thanks for noticing. I'll try for some more short videos.
