Day 5 of my #fivedayquest , thanks to +Elizabeth Hahn 
5 days / 5 photos / tag a new person each day to join
1 photo for 5 days of your daily life.

Ok, I don't know how to spell it (though Google seems to think it's Phalaenopsis)… but I do love orchids… and they seem to thrive in the bay window behind our kitchen sink… just enough sun and shelter to keep them blooming for months on end.

Do you have something that you have or do in your home or work that you really enjoy? Why don't you share 5 days with us and take on your own Five Day Quest. Rather than tag anyone specific today…if you're reading this, consider yourself tagged! Just post a photo of daily life for five days. :-)

I'll Take Pansy as a Complement

——————————————————————-
They're not exotic…they can be found at any Home Depot or Lowes, ready for transplanting… but I love it when people (and companies) take the time to beautify their property with these little jewels. 

Seeing these made me stop and think… Am I doing my part to make the world around me just a bit more beautiful for those I interact with? How about you?

I found this lovely mix of colorful Pansies planted outside the Student Center at the college where I teach.

No Picking Allowed!

For #floralfriday  
Of course you can't pick them!  It's our state flower… the California Poppy.

I never get tired of seeing these pop up all over the Napa Valley in early March. It means that our brutal winter weather is headed out…
(ok, perhaps brutal isn't quite the right word… we hit 80 degrees in the valley today..)

For the Love of Winter

—————————————–
While everything else seems to have the good sense to wait until spring, the camellias around here seem to prefer to bloom in January…
   *This particular color seems to vary by particular screen/monitor more than most. It's amazing how different it looks on several of my devices.

Mom's Daisies

Posted on by

———————————-
I've never forgotten what +Colby Brown taught me…if you can't find inspiration in your back yard, you're not trying hard enough.
(In this case, it's my front yard)

I live in the home where my parents lived for 23 years…and they planted these daisies, which make their appearance at the end of the driveway each year without fail. Mom watered them faithfully, and they remind me of her whenever I arrive back home.

First Fruits of the Promise

Four Camellias line the walk from our front porch to the driveway. They are loaded with at least 150 buds, but only three have have opened so far…
…I snapped this one today on my way out the door to work (droplets from a light rain)

It's a lesson in patience …it's been three weeks since I posted a photo of one of the buds for +FloralFriday  http://dbclick.org/XAdkGg
…and we're only now able to start enjoying the results.
   Soon the shrubs will be covered with blossoms, and I'll try to catch them in a variety of ways… inspired by the lovely work of  +FloralFriday curator, +Tamara Pruessner.
