We have had days and days of rain. I gave up waiting for it to stop and headed out with the camera, a rain poncho and umbrella!

forget {me} not

In honour of American Memorial Day.

dewy nets

The other morning on our walk, I noticed a strange white in the red-brown bushes in the meadow by Agimak Creek.
On closer inspection, I found dewy webs that looked like hammocks.
It was amazing to see all the shades of red, orange and brown that would soon be hidden by new green leaves.

first flowers

Leatherleaf appears as first forest flowers of spring in my backyard! These delicate little blossoms are very similar in shape to blueberry blossoms. They differ in their arrangement on the branch, however, strung like patio lights.


baby green

You know that colour I mean; that fresh bright green of spring when trees come alive again…love that colour!!

Happy Mother’s Day!
I am so blessed to have a precious mother and mother-in-law. These two women are fantastic role models; wives of 55 and 56 years, respectively. I’m so glad they are in my life and in the lives of my children and grandchildren!
And I am also SO thankful for my very special daughters and daughter-in-law that are loving mothers (and aunt) to my beautiful grandchildren. To Krista and Caralyn and Jo, I send my love.
