Representing

Another blog I follow shared a video that I think was a wonderful representation of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. This young woman, Rachel Esplin, is a 20 year old LDS student at Harvard. She was interviewed on a panel about religion and did an excellent job in representing the church. Watch it if you have time.

A photo essay

Here in Arizona the season's are spring, summer, fall and then back to spring. We really don't have a winter. The leaves fall off my ash trees in January and in February the buds are already budding.


It's also allergy season for some, not me. The orange trees are blossoming, so are the grapefruit, lemon, and lime trees.

The bees are out because of the blossoms.


A perfect orange blossom. . . .

Lime blossoms don't smell as strong as orange blossoms.






Nectarine blossoms are beautiful too. The hummingbirds like this tree.




And teeth fall out.



But hey, new ones *spring* in.


All from my backyard.
