Antidote

In a world of growing chaos and uncertainty

Beauty and order still reside in small corners.

Seek them out.

Split Personality

Two heads are better than one, so the saying goes.

This odd-looking lupine is about to find out.

Moral: There’s more than one way to get through life.

Runt of the Litter

The lupine was thriving. Dozens of tall, lush, leaf-topped stems.

Then came a dump of wet spring snow.

Leaves and stems collapsed.

All but the smallest.

Sometimes it pays to keep your head down.

Salt Frost

A light mist dripped over the garden the day before.

Nightfall and the temperature dropped.

By morning frost crystals, like salt grains, dot the lupine leaves.
