I thoroughly enjoy my morning walks because I can view the blossoming of spring. I spotted these lovely little flowers on a plant in a yard designed with low maintenance perennials. Beauty can be found anywhere. All gardening is landscape painting. – William Kent *Tina

Wondrous Wisteria
Since spring is in full swing in Southern California, I had to share this glorious wisteria with you. Located on a corner lot completely draped over a chain link fence, this gorgeous specimen was enjoying its moment. Warmed by the sun, the scent was intoxicating. Enjoy! *Tina

Magnificent Magnolias
