It’s been nearly a year since I finished my Permaculture Design Certificate Course (PDCC, or commonly called the PDC). I’ve been observing the land and the way the water flows on it.

The fruit trees produce some of the most beautiful flowers! This post is to share some that I’ve captured in the last few weeks. My photos are all captured by my Galaxy S3… so, they aren’t “professional” 🙂
