Allium Buds Emerging
Sometimes you just need to see someone else’s perspective to get you to look at something very familiar to you differently. That is exactly what Jaime Brandel did for me. She posted a beautiful image of an allium bud just starting to emerge and I gasped, then took a mental note to pay attention my Serendipity Alliums. The buds have just been coming up and…

For the Simple Pleasure of it
Last week we decided to visit the Denver Botanic Gardens Chatfield Farms which we had not been to for a few years. It felt like an entirely new garden to us which in all honesty is a good thing. Nobody likes when nothing ever changes and it’s the same. But I’m not writing to tell you all about the gardens. I want…

Garden Diaries … May 2026
This week I photographed the garden. This is something that I intentionally do every growing season and every month in that growing season which for us is May-September, sometimes into October. I have found this process of documenting the work we have put into this garden and how it has changed and matured very enjoyable. I also love practicing garden…

I’m no stranger to this syndrome but somehow over the last 6.5 years…

Preserving It’s Beauty
This tree always caught my eye every time I drove down Harmony Rd in the Spring. It would glow pink in peak bloom out in the middle of the open space. I would wonder if I was the only one in all the cars zooming by on their way to school and work to notice its beauty.

Notes From April
Back to making prints this month! I had an order come in for 2 13×19 landscapes to be framed so printed those and then made 4×6 prints of my recent work. I went looking for frames today and was a little surprised by the cost of 18×24 frames at big box stores but ended up finding something that my customer…
