Contentment by design - Living - Places photo #1133

There were a lot of gifts on my walk today, like these clusters of peach-tinged boxelder seeds that are forming in preparation for taking flight later in the year.

There are a fair number of wild roses growing along the way, though most have only one or a couple flowers. These wild roses are growing in a protected place at the base of a rocky cliff where they get some sun, but not too much, and therefore are in soil that is slower to dry out during the sometimes long stretches between rainfalls that we have here. So they are big, vibrant, and full of fragrant flowers.

It looks like we're going to have a year rich in wild grapes. Soon, the air is going to be full of their most wonderful fragrance wafting on the breeze.

Contentment by design

A stylized lion seen from the side, in colors of tan, orange and burnt orange, lying on its belly with its legs stretched out. I imagine it purring. The lion has been my personal mark for this website for many years.
