*B.C. Beauty

A chill North wind unsettles gentle chimes at the leeward corner of cedar shake eaves…

Four feet yellow flag iris invite their royal plum cousins to join their wading in a trickling waterfall.

Textured festivities of orange and pink poppies, coral roses and coreopsis, all supersized, unfold safely inside deerproof and vine-clothed fence.

A robin’s egg sky floats one diaphanous cirrus…my companions this serene afternoon are a browsing doe and dart of hummingbird.
