Hi, I'm Laurie, aka laanba. 

I’ve been wandering around the internet since 2004—blogs, photoblogs, microblogs, and just about every kind of social media you can imagine. Now, as I step into life after retirement, I want to create a space to share my random musings, photography, books I’m reading, travels, and the everyday adventures that are now a part of my life.

There’s something about wildflowers that speaks to me. They’re little spots of color, appearing randomly in the world, reminding me to find happiness in unexpected places. Wildflowers are resilient, thriving wherever life plants them. They inspire me to embrace life’s unpredictability and to seek out the quiet, simple moments that make life beautiful.

Thanks for stepping into the wildflowers with me.
