The dog days of August, or something of that ilk

Spring! Three colours of Iris reticulata with some chionodoxa and puschkinia in the background

The first properly warm day this spring ... 12ºC and glorious sunlight. Still waiting on the piping plovers but the herons, ospreys, gannets, and cormorants are back

Some cozy vibes on a damp and rather dank day

Unusually cuddly moment between two of my dogs. I reckon it's the sunbeam

Not, perhaps, the *most* ideal beach day, but fresh air (however frigid) is generally a good thing

It takes place after PLUM DUFF and contains a few unavoidable spoilers to earlier events, but otherwise stands mostly alone. Also available on Amazon etc. if you prefer :) www.victoriagoddard.ca/products/bal...
