�Every gardener knows under the cloak of winter lies a miracle...

...a seed waiting to sprout,

...a bulb opening to light,

...a bud straining to unfurl.

And the anticipation nurtures our dreams.�

- Barbara Winkler -

All winter long we wait to see this begin when spring arrives...

A flower bud ready to unfurl is one of the most beautiful sights in the garden.

�Nature is man's teacher. She unfolds her treasures to his search, unseals his eye, illumes his mind, and purifies his heart; an influence breathes from all the sights and sounds of her existence.�

This cutie is Hemerocallis �Little Grapette�.

Purple is one of my favourite colours, especially in the garden.

I love how this duck stayed still long enough for my camera to capture a good photo of it.

This photo was taken in Washington, D.C., August 2008.

I really like the fuzzy white flower clusters in this photo.

They belong to Eupatorium rugosum �Chocolate�, an easy to care for perennial that is related to the popular Joe-Pye Weed.

He was checking out his little sister to see if she was worth keeping.

This is one of my favourite childhood photos. It�s a picture of me and the younger of my two older brothers. He and I are only eleven months apart, and being so close in age, we were the best of friends as young children, and totally inseparable.


This photo depicts clearly just how close we were. Like two peas in a pod.

I find this photo really endearing, so I thought I�d share it with all of you:


It�s a picture of my daughter holding Bailey just a few days after we brought him home last August. He was really tiny; only a few weeks old. I love the look of baby animals; they really do look like babies.

What I like most is the loving look on my daughter�s face; a promise to a baby animal that he�ll be cherished. And he is.
