We’re particularly fond of Calla Lilies. So elegant, so stunning. This is the first of what we anticipate will be a bunch of blooms this Spring.

Single white Calla Lily bloom from the top, showing off the lovely perfectly curved interior of the blossom.

Doge has died in Japan. RIP. A real ‘good girl’ and source of countless internet memes and the inspiration for one cryptocurrency.

What a great idea!

My partner made, for the first time tonight, homemade Gelato prepared with Bailey’s Irish Cream and a shot of espresso and… OMG. We’re definitely having that again. I like it as much as her legendary Russian Cream dessert. It’s really wonderful being married to a trained chef - as her family (in this case her sister and me, but sometimes our kids and grandkids) are her only clients.

Roses are beginning to show off in our garden. You’ll be seeing more of these images as the season progresses and depressing news sends me to our garden for retreat and solace. Taking pictures of flowers is kinda like therapy for me personally. You know, right?

Beautiful, coral-colored fully open rose bloom displaying its filigreed petals.

Sitting on the back veranda of my hillside home on 8 acres at dusk. Lights just coming on in the Rogue Valley below and on the Cascade Mountains foothills on the other side of the valley. Red headed woodpecker is chattering as it nests, and a great horned owl is hooting from the Oaks below, no doubt on the prowl for a meal. It’s been dry, so the frogs have stopped singing but crickets are still ever-present in the background. In the distance, an occasional glass pack muffler or high-revving cafe racer shatters the evening quiet then fades away.
