Wild Hyacinth
This beautiful wild hyacinth was growing along the Douglas Spring Trail in the Rincon Mountains. I happened upon it while I was hiking with my son in 2009. I’m ready to do that trail again. Image copyrighted. Reproduction, copying & file sharing prohibited. http://www.MarthaLochertPhotography.com
Bach’s Cactus Nursery

Decades ago it was affectionately named Paddy Pig. I don’t know when Paddy […]
Cheers
For my friend on your special day. May your future be as bright and warmed by the light as these poppies from your yard. Image copyrighted. All use requires licensing. http://www.MarthaLochertPhotography.com
Spring Chores of a Honey Bee
Spring will soon be upon us and already the cycle of life has begun again. The pollinators are extremely important in that cycle. Almond crops depend entirely on the honey bee for pollination at bloom time, while blueberries and cherries, are 90-percent dependent on honey bee pollination, according to the American Beekeeping Federation. http://www.abfnet.org/displaycommon.cfm?an=1&subarticlenbr=14 This bee has been […]
