Bouquets on the balcony

After sowing, thinning, and transplanting…

after supporting, protecting, and pruning…

after watering, weeding, and waiting…

after releasing expectations and gratefully receiving nature’s abundant, sublime gifts…

this…

a series of still life moments created and captured during recent gardening days at my mom’s home.
