mavis' garden...

God makes beautiful things. on our trip in CA we got to visit my grandpa + grandma...they are truly blessed by God to be so fortunate to live in whittier, CA in a 50 year old california ranch home built on a beautiful hillside...they have I think over an acre of beautiful, lush valley yard filled with all of these sorts of flowers...






geranium's will always and forever remind me of my mom...growing up she had these everywhere in the spring/summer...and they still make me smile when I think of her :)


mexican bird of paradise...crazy flower that looks like a colorful bird...we have these in AZ too, but they seem more vibrant in CA...

my absolute favorite color and their backyard was full of it!
