National Geographic paid homage to that most rich and royal of hues recently, and I was happy to find that our humble friend the crocus was in attendance (along with rows of lavender that must smell overwhelmingly spectacular, not to mention a Joshua tree at sunset).

Happy National Public Gardens Day! A female carpenter bee visiting the pea vines yesterday. She’s California’s largest bee.
HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY

Be the change you want to see in the world.
