Nature's Beauty



Harvey & I love purple flowers, I guess because they just seem to stand out more than some of the others.

This is a ceonothus hedge we've created between the golf course and our yard . . . and this is the first year we've had such a profusion of blooms. They look so pretty from our kitchen window, startling almost. They are actually a "mock" lilac. They smell really pretty, but different from a normal lilac. And boy, are the bees happy!

Here's a little bit closer shot . . .


I find in nature a relief from the often hectic and sometimes downright "sucky" moments in life. Even pulling weeds provides a certain amount of peace.
