First Wildflower Celebration of the Year!

WildFlowers are here!

I get so energized by those little blooms opening in spring and it was so special and exciting to see a big patch of fawn lilies, a few brand new camas flowers, and even a couple of chocolate lilies during my last photo shoot for Kids’ Dissent Pullover. Here are a few things we saw so you can celebrate with me!

Finding Secrets

I get so delighted seeing other beings when I’m outside, so it was great hanging out with kids who were as excited as me. At one point during our shoot, AD had run ahead on the trail when she stopped and got very quiet, urging us all to be still and look. What we saw was two beautiful snakes! One of them stuck around long enough for me to get a shot. Amazing!
