I let a full month of Spring slip by without posting a Six on Saturday. Yes, it was a busy month, but March had five Saturdays. My excuse was that my only free Saturday was just two weeks after my February post, and I thought I'd have more to share as the month went on. … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: What was I Thinking?!
I have more than six photos to show you, but they're grouped into six categories. We find ways to bend the rules, don't we?

But you can still find something blooming 365 days per year somewhere out there, so I’ll show you … Continue reading SIX ON SATURDAY: End of September 2023
