Hello RRSLA Fam,

Hope you are all not only surviving but thriving. Spring has arrived and the blooms are coming out with the good weather. Soon it will be warm enough to swim. I need to swim. It is nice to have a job doing what you love that pays you enough to be able to put some of it away. It definitely helps that I am cooking all my meals and packing lunches. 

Working in a collaborative firm has shown me how important it is to always stay totally organized. I am very happy to know how to properly organize files now. I say this because I booted up my laptop the other day and it was terrifying to say the least. 

Anyways, here is some work I have produced lately.

Epic balcony trellis structure that I used grasshopper to build.

More model work from the same project.

Some fun Growth Charts I made for a School Masterplan Toolkit.

Plants:

Fraxinus albicans; The first Texas Ash I have spotted.

Lupinus texensis; Texas bluebonnets still going strong

Some kind of Camas I would only assume.

Sisyrinchium pruinosum; Blue eyed grass popping.

Toxicodendron pubescens; My first time seeing poison oak

Rhus lanceolata; The flameleaf sumac stands out here are phenomenal

Passiflora lutea; spotted this yellow passion flower along the Katy Trail greenway through downtown.

Campsis radicans;  trumpetvine on a trellis along the katy greenway

These thickets of some kind of prunus are cool.

Glandularia bipinnatifida; dakota mock vervains with their pop of color

Astragalus plattensis; platte river milkvetch creeps like sunshine mimosa but has this awesome pink bloom

Oenothera triloba; stemless evening primrose 

Dracaena trifasciata; snake plant in the office blooming!?

Asclepias viridis; I wanted to wait until the green antelope horn milkweeds to start blooming over here to post but I lost my patience and made the post anyway.

Bouteloua dactyloides; Ivy rolling in the buffalo grass for the finale.
