Some recent delights

A quick hello mostly prompted by my delight in this "color pop" camas pic. First time seen in person, Burke Museum native plant garden, yesterday. 

When I wonder which moments or days in life I've felt the happiest, there is a common theme: it's when I'm experiencing wonder authentically; and when I'm with my kids, it's experiencing wonder together. 

We were kids in a candy store at the museum. The best way to describe it is that it's the closest one can come to being inside of a book. Walking around animal specimens from many angles, touching a sauropod femur, watching a video about the scientists who found a t.rex skull, trying on camouflage and checking your reflection in various habitats, traversing a geologic timeline, and eating delicious frybread tacos. 
We were scouting a birthday party space, and we stumbled upon a core family memory. 

And while I'm in this random space of sharing delights, here are two more flower finds for the record books this year. Solomon's seal (my first, I think) and a spectacular purple trillium.
