The Painted Lady butterflies have arrived in Southern California, and they are a welcome sight. A much needed distraction from a constant stream of heavy news and dire predictions, these two delight in the nectar of onions left to flower. Some might not let their crops stay in the garden this long, but I do. Every stage of the plants in my garden are useful, and can teach us something.
I am inspired by things that grow in the ground and blow in the wind. I like to play in the dirt, especially when planting something, and can talk to trees. I like to look closely at things that at first seem small, insignificant, dried out, or contrary. Weeds may not welcome me with swollen blossoms, but the visual treasure they offer up, are well worth a look. Do you agree? I hope that these images of the oft-overlooked pest of our gardens and yards may give to you some delight, hope, or a new thought to make your daily journey just a little bit more inspired.
We and our weeds are so much more than what we first appear to be.
