Pre-COVID, I was already used to spending limits, being on a fixed low income; quarantine has further limited access to garden supplies and plants I was accustomed to obtaining.  Thus, I find myself appreciating details of each and every flower and plant that come back or appear for the first time, and my photos reflect that.  There’s always a new angle or stage of life to rediscover in commonplace, overlooked nature right around you.  I find it all cathartic, and recommend it.  There are worse things one could focus on right now.  So please enjoy my humble efforts to share what beauty I find at home in quarantine.

Thus here are yet more shots of irises and columbines starting to bloom, and even some little white thyme flowers.  Not pictured (yet) are the many species of birds and animals I see moving in closer every day, attracted by all the plants and foods I’ve provided.  The raven gang practically lives under my office window now, but they’re still quite skittish.  I’m working on those sneaky photo techniques.  Please bear with me and stay tuned.
