Artichoke Flower

So even if you forget to harvest your Artichoke in time, it's not the end of the world.  The Artichoke flower is beautiful!

Baby artichoke

We planted this green globe artichoke last Spring.  This is our first little artichoke popping out.  Very excited!

Heirloom Carrots

Check out these little Heirloom Carrots from our veggie garden.  I actually planted these last year and they survived the winter (not much of one in Los Angeles).  The purple ones are called Cosmic Carrots and I can't remember the name of the round orange ones.

Echium Bloom

It's exciting to see the first little, purple blooms on this Echium open up.  Soon this will be a purple spike covered in little blooms. 

Early Spring

We must be having an early Spring.. The Vibernum 'Spring Bouquet' is already blooming!

Beach Art

Someone dropped Carnations all along the beach where we were walking.  I caught this one right as the surf was passing by.  Flowers on the beach have a unexpected, beautiful tranquillity about them.  

Horse Teeth

I love the way this picture of these old horse teeth turned out.  It's amazing how something like a skull or rotten teeth can photograph so well.  I call this Ansel Adams teeth for the up close style photography.
