Doubllium?...

Hiking through the forest today at Grizzly Creek Squirrel Meat and I came across what we have dubbed a "doubllium" as pictured on the left. As you can see it has two leaves, two petals, two sepals and two anthers. Look at the photo two posts ago and you will see a trillium with three of all the above mentioned. The petals of trilliums (and doublliums) turn pink as they begin to die.

Ahhhhhhhhhh...

Sunshine - Blue Skies - Slight Breeze - Calmness - Sweet Floral Smells - Bursting Blossoms

Spring is a funny time... I feel calm, relaxed and energized all at once. My mind often becomes entangled in confusion of whether to take a cat nap in the warm sun or get out in the garden and dig, dig, dig. I usually just try to fit it all in, but that gets difficult as my energized brain creates a longer and longer list of things "to do."

Today I started with a leisurely walk in the sunshine to redwood park . My mission was to find trilliums, and trilliums I did find!

A Visit from the Folks...

My folks came to visit for two days mid-week this week. We had a great time site seeing while reminiscing about our summer trips to the coast back when I was a kid.

Thanks for the wonderful visit and come back soon!
