Nemophila menziesii – February, 24, 2015

 

Delicate patches
along the creek, they flourish—
mother’s favorite.

      Me, too — it just jumped on the page. Fairly rare around here, my mother loved their color and tried to describe them to me when I was a boy. Now that I’ve found where they live, I know my father must have taken her there, sweet memories along the creek.

    Can certainly see why it was her favorite. Lovely thought to think of him taking her there. Beautiful.
