I came across this lovely statue in Carmel-by-the-

I came across this lovely statue in Carmel-by-the-Sea in California a few years ago. It seems an appropriate picture to post today, on my wedding anniversary. We are looking more like this older couple than I might want to admit, although my legs are no longer that shapely and I've never seen my husband wear that kind of hat.⁠

Words from Chief Dan George written on a board out

Words from Chief Dan George written on a board outside a gift store on the Sea to Sky Highway from Vancouver to Whistler, British Columbia:⁠
May the stars carry your sadness away⁠
May the flowers fill your heart with beauty⁠
May hope forever wipe away your tears⁠
And above all may silence make you strong.⁠

Bluebonnets, which bloom in spring, are the state

Bluebonnets, which bloom in spring, are the state flower of Texas. I was delighted to see them in bloom a few years ago. I'd not even heard of them before that. This photo was taken at the San Antonio Botanical Garden, but they can be seen blossoming in many places in spring. I love blue flowers and seeing a field of blue blooms just makes me smile.⁠

Tuniigusiia/The Gift by Inuit artist Goota Ashoona

Tuniigusiia/The Gift by Inuit artist Goota Ashoona is a Verde Guatemala marble sculpture on the plaza in front of Qaumajuq, the new Inuit art centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was commissioned by the Manitoba Teachers’ Society to honour teachers all around us – in the land and in our lives – who reveal the truth, wisdom, and beauty that connect us all. ⁠

I bought myself a spring present. I love hydrangea

I bought myself a spring present. I love hydrangeas, especially the blue ones. The hydrangeas that thrive in my part of the world don't produce this colour of blooms, so I am delighted to have this indoor plant brighten up my living space.
