Golden hour overlooking the canyon

Could 31, 2023

On a latest golden afternoon, I crawled like a snail via my good friend Catbackyard as she narrated her spring journey. Historical past meandered merrily, as did our toes.

I ended to admire each shining second.

Is not {that a} charming vignette, with a terracotta frog perched among the many water lily leaves of a leopard plant?

Close by, a cranium with twig antlers – a spirit deer – watches over the backyard and its dry stream.

A bulging fountain supplies a splashy birdbath. Sedge ‘Everillo’ shines at its base. Within the inventory tank lake within the background…

…a goldfish conference.

The American basket flower exhibits petals much like lavender filaments.

And the yucca bells play their sundown track.
