'Not all magic is fireworks and fanfare. Sometimes magic is quiet and sneaks up on you'.
Jeff Guinn

Climbing Nightshade offers up beautiful flowers. Most articles I read mention the toxic nature of the berries, but this link states all parts are toxic. Perhaps I'll pop some gardening gloves in my pocket the next time I wander down the trail featuring these delightful flowers.
"People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us."
Iris Murdoch
Every year the Clematis flowers appear as bright spots in a wall of greenery....and every year I celebrate the arrival of the blossoms with days of capturing images. On this day, the sun was shining and a strong breeze had moved across the landscape. I was certain that the tendrils of the flower would continue to dance in the wind. Fortune smiled on me as everything became still. Click!
"Life is full of surprises. Why is that always surprising?"
Cathleen Schine
I love little surprises in other people's gardens. Many years ago we were staying in a rental house at the beach. I'd given up hope of finding any freshly blooming flowers, as the rest of the garden was full of small shrubs and ferns. Then the most delightful sight was in front of me. A small purple and pink lantern-like Fuchsia.
