aloe with a bow

this is a wee flower from a Kalanchoe plant. the flowers grow so tightly together, that when i tried to show how beautiful the flower is, it just looked like an orange blob. so i picked one. NOW, you can see how spectacular it is.

funky echinacea

i wanted to buy these for the garden so badly. i didn’t b/c they cost twice as much as regular pink echinacea.

Vermont…i wish i was there

The first image is the state capital in Montpelier, Vermont. (I click my heels…I want to go home, i want to go home. Damn, I’m still in Alabama.) These amazingly beautiful images were taken by Kip Penniman, the lucky guy who lives there.

Vermont through his eyes

When i see Kip’s photography, i beg him to share it on my blog. See, he is where i wish i was. (I have been unable to return to Vermont due to multiple surgeries…but maybe this fall, I will get up there.) Kip (Kingman) is an amazing photographer & he captures everything i love about…
