‘Here today and gone tomorrow…’

                          And if God cares so wonderfully for flowers that are here today                           and gone tomorrow, won’t he more surely care for you?
                                                               Matthew 6:30 (New Living Translation)

After the last two strange little poems, I thought we were due for some photos. Perhaps it was Linda Hussa’s email that instilled the wonder and worry of an image of the Mercy Planes that fly low over their ranch house near Fort Bidwell, or at my desk this past week accounting to Uncle Sam. Words and math conflict in my head, come from different sides of the brain, for there are no shades of gray with numbers, no room for possibility or supposition.

As a special treat to myself and quite weary with spreadsheets, I took my camera and macro lens along to change my irrigation water yesterday afternoon until the light had all but disappeared. I’ve also included more photographs in ‘March Bloom 2013’ under the ‘Wildflowers’ tab above.

    Fabulous shots, John!

    Would you let us use some of them on the TCT website, as the occasion arises, crediting you, of course?

    ALSO might you be able to get away for an hour or two to Cutler Park in the next couple of weeks so that we could shoot a little interview on that wonderful gift from John Cutler to the people of our county?

    Here’s hoping!

    Coming around the lake, those south -facing slopes look mor like May than March. Ouch!

  2. Thanks, Laurie and YES you’re welcome to use the photographs for Tulare County Treasures’ website:

     

    You and your crew of remarkable volunteers have done well to offer so much information and history of Tulare County. Please continue to keep me in the email loop for meetings I haven’t had time to attend, I may surprise you and we can set time and date for the Cutler Park project I haven’t forgotten.

    Alas, it is a short spring, the cattle just recovering from our cold, dry winter.
