I-90 East - Keechelus Lake / April 20th 

I always look forward to the backyard blooms from our camellia, even though it has become rather overgrown through the years. A sure sign that spring has officially arrived.

La Conner, WA / April 4th

I meant to go look at the tulips this time, but the laziness took over. This field of daffodils will do for now. Such a simple and perfect little weekend away.

“I thought the most beautiful thing in the world must be shadow, the million moving shapes and cul-de-sacs of shadow. There was shadow in bureau drawers and closets and suitcases, and shadow under houses and trees and stones, and shadow at the back of people's eyes and smiles, and shadow, miles and miles and miles of it, on the night side
of the earth.” 
― Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar
