When I was a kid my mom grew an amaryllis every winter. I like to carry on the same tradition. I’m sure that to many the type of person who grows amaryllis in their home is the same person who lives with 6 longhair rescue cats (and sleeps in the bed with them), watches [...]
I took this shot last summer. I was walking along Michigan Avenue and came across this monarch butterfly. It was floating around on the breeze and occasionally landing on the blooms of various flowers growing in the sidewalk planters. I stopped and enjoyed a few moments of it’s playful antics, took this photo, and continued [...]

If you are interested in getting emails periodically from epoch. about upcoming events, classes, specials, etc…
