Spring, Sprang, Sprung


After a wasted Saturday spent at my office in LA waiting for a Federal Express package that didn't come,  I decided on an easy stroll around the neighborhood to work out some aches and pains from a hard yoga class I took last night.  So, me, my achy core, and my camera set off to explore.  It was late afternoon with moody skies and dramatic light hitting the buildings, making them seem like works of art.  Eventually,  at dusk, I ended up in the garden.  And Spring has most definitely Sprung...

Apples
Fava
Raspberry
More peach blossoms
And even more peach blossoms
Most of the monarchs have burst free of their chrysalis', but this little guy is still holding on.  I hope he's coming soon because I need to take that covering off my beets!


I also photographed the flower bulbs I planted this year which miraculously are coming up beautifully, as well as my hyacinth which has just started peaking its head above ground, again.  But, I'll share those another day. In the meantime, enjoy the blossoms.  I did.

Leaving Home


Yesterday, in my garden, I found this gorgeous monarch on my parsley and his empty chrysalis nearby.

 
I need to leave my home this month, too.
I'm losing my view and he's getting one.  
We are both having to find courage to stretch our wings elsewhere.
And have faith we'll find our way home.

New seeds....


So, check out this seed I just planted. 
I wonder what kinds of things it will grow in my life?
