Years back, our local community garden planted a pollinator garden full of black-eyed Susans, Queen Anne's lace, and coneflowers. Eventually, the flowers spread past their confines, slowly making their way into the adjacent grasslands. I grin every time I walk by it--beauty invading the mundane.

Tarryall Creek
11x14 Oil on board.

Michigan Creek

Spring Snow
