No Need to Weed

Happy that my neighbor hasn’t weeded their garden. Now wordpress has strangely cropped and resized the image.

While busily photographing flowers in the garden, autumn began. We are not at peak foliage season yet. I hope the rain in the upcoming days doesn’t make that less beautiful than usual, because we need rain so badly.

Welcome Back

In the times of the coronavirus, it is nice that nature is still springing up. My checkerboard lilies (Fritillaria meleagris), decided to come back after I thought they were long gone. I’m in a conundrum, my only time out of the house is walking the dog or finding deserted places for her to run off leash. Neither is conducive to photography. I have been enjoying all the spring buds and blooms knowing that in previous years I have posted them on my blog. I’ve been working from home for weeks now and yes, the construction is still going on and on.

A big flake lighting up the night by a tree with lights. Wishing all who celebrate a Merry Christmas and a belated Winter Solstice to all. Let there be light.

Eleven Years

I started this blog eleven years ago today. Who knew overnight construction (still going on) and overwork (lessening somewhat) would get in the way of this blog? I didn’t, but life goes round and round. I hope to post every now and then.

Reality Bites

Over my garden fence, the Harvest Moon waning and the bright lights of the overnight construction going on and on. Now in its fifth week. I have decided that considering how extraordinarily busy I am at work by day with trouble sleeping because of the noise all night, I have to at least temporarily give up on everything extra for the time being. This includes photographing and blogging. Otherwise I may go ‘insane in the membrane’ and I don’t want that. Hope to be back someday in the not too distant future.

Hitching a ride

The construction is so bad around my house and city in general, that a praying mantis actually hitched a ride on my windshield for over a mile until it hopped off in a quieter neighborhood.
