Floriade 2016

[calissa]

Last weekend, Sahaquiel and I made it out to Floriade, the local flower festival. It was much later in the season than we usually go. Perhaps for this reason--or maybe all the wet weather we've had--the displays were even more spectacular this year and turned on quite a show.







The native bees were out in force.













I love the way the pansies below look like watercolour or leaked ink.









I think next year we will go later again and see what it's like.

Aren't they lovely? The festival always uses an impressive variety of tulips.

(Also, hi! I've missed you and hope to stop in more often. Hope all is well).

(Hello! I have been missing you too, and managing to read but as is clear only rarely scraping together the brain to comment. That MIGHT be changing in the next week or it might not; but while I am Stress And Overwhelm it is pretty good, on the whole.)
