Her teacher was upset I pulled her out of school this week. She is missing a lot of the unit on cities. I don’t care. This is much more important learning. #bloomscrolling #nature #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour #FlowerFeed

I’m ready for flower season to arrive!!! Can’t wait!

Signs of spring out in the trails this week. Also had a bobcat sighting as well which totally made my day.

Winter didn’t arrive here this year. These aphids have been on the plant since I noticed in January! Going to be an interesting gardening season. Now in late March, the weather had been gloomier than it was in January. But still not freezing temperatures. I’m ready for spring to come! #dahlias

Happy #Spring 🍀

Bear Mountain the past couple days. Seriously hiked in a sports bra today, in early February, in Canada! Clearly climate changes is made up😝Not! #nature #photography #naturephotography #canada #climatechange #hiking #photohour

Happy Gotcha’ Day to this lovely boy. 3 years today♥️ He is a rescue who was brought to B.C. from Manitoba where he ended up in a shelter.

A beautiful orchid display from the Vancouver Orchid Society at Blodel Conservation. Such a treat. #bloomscrolling #boquets #gardening #garden #flower #dahlias #roses #dahliasfordiversity #nature #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour #FlowerFeed

Looking south over Chilliwack, BC. Many of those mountain peaks are in the US. A country that before long, we could be at war with. Unless it becomes too busy being at war with itself. Hiking helps my mind clear. #hiking #photography #naturephotography #politics #canada #liberal #US

The garden is dormant right now and the world is in turmoil. It feels irresponsible to look away…. And exhausting to keep looking. I’ve been spending as much time as I can hiking in the forest with my dogs. I often use a trail app and when I close it, it will ask if anyone joined me, no just me.

Time to start winter preparations. The goal is to have all the tubers packed for December 1. But honestly I’m not sure how I’ll find the time this year. I have about 170. #dahlias #gardening #cutflowers #canada #bloomscrolling

Any day now I will wake up to the first frost and the end of blooms for the 2025 seasons. Please share the beauty if so included! #bloomscrolling #boquets #gardening #garden #flower #dahlias #roses #dahliasfordiversity #nature #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour #FlowerFeed

Dahlia ‘Westerton Lillian’ is breathtaking in my opinion. #bloomscrolling #boquets #gardening #garden #flower #dahlias #roses #dahliasfordiversity #nature #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour #FlowerFeed

Hey Canada!🇨🇦 Anyone else struggling with the fact so many people are more concerned with the cull of ostriches than the genocide in Gaza? I was up late trying to process my emotions around this while making bouquets all to give away at our daughter’s school. #gaza #canada #dahlias #politics #love

Van Isle Bold. Being among the blooms brought my worried mind peace today. Seems like everyday there’s just more hate in the world. Let’s spread 💕 #bloomscrolling #boquets #gardening #garden #flower #dahlias #dahliasfordiversity #naturephotography #GardensHour #coloraday #PhotoHour #FlowerFeed

‘Bliss Parfuma’ is a beautiful rose. Purchased this year, this own-root rose didn’t produce a ton of flowers in its first flush but the plant is growing strong and healthy and I have high hopes for the months ahead. #bloomscrolling #garden #gardening #flowers #roses #dahlias #nature

The start of bouquet season here! Woohoo! by order only, pick up in Mission, BC #flowers #bouquets #dahlias #dahliasfordiverity #canadian #gardening #roses #nature #naturephotography
