Dianthus

I planted these last year, and they came back much more full this year.

Ecuadorean Woman

by

I don’t take too many pictures of people when I travel, but this woman just happened to be standing in an alley while I was waiting around for the rest of my group, and it was a nice photo opportunity. The people of Ecuador are known for wearing felt hats, with different colors signifying different tribes and ethnicities.

Blue-footed Booby

by

This is one of my favorite pictures from traveling to Ecuador and the Galapagos a few years ago. The blue-footed boobies would walk right up to you (animals there don’t have a lot of natural predators, as the islands are so isolated, so they’re not scared of much). They would stand there, and show you their feet. So cute!

Peony Silhouette

I’m lying on the ground to get a picture of this peony against the sky; the sun is a little bright here, but I like how the flower looks huge!

Peonies

by

We transplanted these peonies a few years ago, and finally this year they’ve nicely come back to grow multiple buds. So beautiful!
