Spring!!

 

“Spring passes and one remembers one's innocence.

Summer passes and one remembers one's exuberance.

Autumn passes and one remembers one's reverence.

Winter passes and one remembers one's perseverance.” 

― Yoko Ono

I live on a piece of property on the Sacramento River. The center picture is from the middle standing just below my deck and looking north towards one end. The wind is so active today that this is the only side of the house where branches, stems and flowers are not dancing around. Most of my iris are in bloom, The callas are really putting on a show, and of course the cymbidiums are in bloom -- they are so wonderfully fool-proof! A month ago the air was filled with the sent of violets. The grasses already have seed heads. The weeds are doing what weeds do best. I have managed to get in my onions, one crop of beets and green onions, but not much else. I am itching to finish up!!

Duty calls, I have  three portraits to do for my friend and client James Williams. Interrupted by Easter I am just getting them back to him. He has been working too. He is an actor and has been working on an ad campaign. 

Happy Spring to all!!
