She goes to kindergarten in the fall. She attended a small home-based nursery school and learned a great deal!

Portrait of grass

I meant to take more photos of the grasses in sunlight before my son weed-whacked some wild grassy places in my new yard in Idaho. But I never got it done and only this one taken at the tulip-portrait time remains. But the weed whacking will be good for the other plants--he found a rhubarb and something that might be a gooseberry.

We don't spend enough time outdoors with the glories of Wildflower Spring in California! Some pictures are just naturally enhanced by the black background; why am I always surprised???

In Alum Rock Park lots of wonderful spring wildflowers are in bloom! Go out and take a hike!

Late March in Almaden Quicksilver Park. A beautiful place to walk. hike. bike or ride horseback. This medium-size light-blue lupine that grows so abundantly in the park is often called Dove Lupine, I think.

We took our grandson on a bus tour and were very pleased with how much we got to show him in 3.5 hours. This was taken through the bus window from the upper deck.
