It is a beautiful Sunday here in Ojai, CA. Spending multiple days here is a real treat. I am sitting looking out over the green, Oak-studded mountains that are punctuated with dry, open spaces of dry grasses. The natural beauty here is absolutely stunning! As I drink in the natural beauty my mind wanders to another time I spend drenched in natural beauty of a different sort.... The Chelsea Flower Show in London, England.
The following pics were taken in May of this year and represent just a taste of the botanical menagerie that is exhibited for events holders to see. Please enjoy, and may the color of nature elevate your mood no matter what you are feeling at this moment... may your day be just a little (or a lot) more colorful!
