Buds (B&W)

We’ve had so much snow dumped on us recently. Just the other day I said I could wait for spring but these last few days are really getting under my skin. Bud Watch 2008 has officially begun.

Can you imagine the painstakingly meticulous work involved in making a path like this? Neither can I.

Holly (Chinese Garden, Portland)

Photo by Gayla Trail

I took this photo just over a year ago on a visit to the Chinese Garden in Portland, Oregon. It’s a beautiful and inspiring garden. I recommend a visit if you happen to find yourself in Portland.

I am hoping to see some massive holly trees in Vancouver next week. On my side of the country holly is never more than a small bush, but on the west coast, by golly it is a monster! I had to do a double take the first time I saw one. “Is that? No!”
