“Don’t decide to grow a garden.  Decide to become a gardener.  Just go ahead and sign up for the long haul.  This is something that you’re going to do, year after year.  You’re never going to arrive, you’re going to keep learning.”

A closeup photograph of a red columbine flower in bloom with a small bright yellow green unidentified insect on one petal, perched in a head down position. The body color of the insect is similar to the tips of the columbine petal where it clings, as the soft redder hue is more concentrated on the higher portion, where the tip is part of a lighter ridge that is a similar color to the tip. The antennae of the insect align in size and shape with parts drooping down from within the center of the flower. In the background are some gray rocks and the topmost one has deep green moss growing on it.  The trunk of a paper birch growing behind is seen breaking the frame in the top right corner, and bright green grasses are behind the birch.  In the foreground is a wild blackberry creeper not yet in bloom, and between that and the rocks is a maple sapling..
