WordPress really managed to confuse me this morning as I looked back to confirm that I was indeed on Week 20 of this particular series: it seems that I created Week 19 a little bit ahead of schedule — back in mid May. For a few minutes there I couldn’t find it on my list of published posts and started […]
The colors in our photographer’s garden were really amazing and beautiful, and I’m not surprised she spent so much time filling a photo album with these pictures. Several of the blooms were already familiar to me, but there are some that I don’t recall seeing before, like the delicate Alstromeria above, also known by the name Peruvian lily.
