Three pink Zinnias is a watercolour painting in a modern square format painted by artist Karen Kaspar. On a white background float three beautiful zinnia flowers in bright pink and rose, surrounded by fresh green leaves. I have kept this watercolour loose and fresh like a summer garden, with a vivid colour contrast between the pink flowers and the background of green leaves and the diagonal composition within the square format.

A bit of creative hedge laying before and after photos from today’s session in the nature reserve. #Hedgelaying #CommunityGardening #Gardening #NatureReserve #Biodiversity

Some bramble infested hedge material mostly of willow, hazel and blackthorn with a little guelder rose. They’ve been planted in two rows with the space in between full of ivy.

Two lines of newly laid hedge curving around with the shape of the footpath on one side and straighter on the other. Two hedge lines merge into one at the end. The hazel braidings on the curved edge are done South England style with two hazel rods alternating either side of each hazel stake. The straighter edge is done Midland style with two thinner hazel rods twisted together to form the top braiding.

My version of the goddess of spring and lady of the underworld, Persephone. She is a skull floating above blue ruffles, with an infinity sign on her forehead and flowers perched on the skull. She has a pierced eyebrow with a heart charm dangling on it, lots of purple tones and bubbles coming at you against some curvy lines.

One dozen favorite photos I took in 2025.

All my photos are taken on my property, often from my window. It may have become trite, but there’s a lot of beauty in the mundane world if you stop to look.

A green heron pauses to preen. I like this one since it highlights the variety of feathers and since there are only 3 elements (dead branch, heron, sky)

Time for a new #introduction!

I live on the border, where #Arizona, #Mexico and #NewMexico all come together.

I mostly post about #cooking, #gardening, #hiking and #publiclands

I'm interested in #music, #art, #anime, #manga, #comics, #math, #videogames, #retrogaming and #retrocomputing

I switched from #Amiga to #linux and #bsd so I actually know very little about MS Windows.

Fresh garden full of ~18 petunias. Hopefully they don’t get squashed by the fresh remains of a sperm whale. #gardening #garden #HitchhikersGuide

A garden area with sprouting petunia plants without flowers , scattered dried leaves, and colorful plastic balls left behind by my kids. A wooden fence is visible in the background, and there are patches of green grass and wildflowers.

A glorious squirrel appreciation day to all. I think ours are still napping, but will be back to stalk the jaybirds and steal their peanuts soon enough.

The prototype garden is going well, my coaching concept is all figured out, and the last preparations are well underway. Very soon, I will be able to offer the first garden coaching spots. To start off, I will offer three spots.

Wow, I am nervous. But I am also really looking forward to coaching your gardens, especially with early spring prep on the horizon.
