Little crab on a summer's day.

Sleeping there in the sand,
Left behind by nature's hand.

Why did you have to stay?
Why don't you just walk away?

Ever wonder what a flower would see if it had eyes?
These mariglods decided to share with me their view of my father's garden.

I love these little flowers that emerge in the spring. They are so dainty and delicate looking. Large patches of them give the illusion of light snow in the grass.

A-ha!
A nursery for insects!

One of the things I look forward to every spring is the flowers. These little flowers have always delighted me with their happy little faces bobbing in the breeze. Even on the gray days they seem so happy!
