Instant Martian
The papaya bloom closed up and now there’s a pod. …which of course reminded me of… ...
Garden Fairies & Early Birds
The fae folk were good to us last night… there’s a bloom on one of the papayas… …and of course no post would be complete without ‘the girls’… pictured here early this a.m., bristling at something. The dogs...
I Spy
I wonder almost every day why the camera sees things differently than the human eye. Oh, I’ve read the explanations… but sometimes they just don’t cover the weirdness. Such as why the windows in this picture look white. I know, i...
Redo
I completely dug up and redid part of the front beds yesterday. The part which Cleveland, in his infinite wisdom, had tarted up without my knowledge or consent. I vowed to live with it for a while, but yesterday was long enough. The man had used qui...
Amazing Droplet
Wonder why it appears silver? At least you can tell exactly where the water touches the plant…...
Leaves
Love the sun radiating through leaves… and believe it or not, this is the effect I was trying to capture. How something so simple can be so wondrous… I call this one: “No, really. Some of it is in focus.” ...
Nemesis
Frankly, I couldn’t believe I got this shot. Just when I’m ready to toss that camera… I hate these little bastards. I named this one ‘Nancy Pelosi’....
Two
I don’t know which I like better… it could be totally subjective. ...
March of the Snail
I admit it; I tried to get them drunk and thus dead… but aren’t they kinda cool? This guy was in the lilies this morning. ...
Autumn Lilies
A second Spring? A confused Crinum has decided to shoot some buds out! Right there next to the dying plumeria… how is it I have not seen this? ...
Freaky
The plant that Bree is close to here? It’s hiding something. Something ugly. This: I had to take a picture to get a really good look and now believe that it’s got to be some sort of cocoon. The thing’s as big as a fist… s...
3D
These seem sort of three-dee-ish… especially the first. Maybe it’s just me?...
Rock
Early morning shot… Looks like a playground for the fairies…...
Photo Monday
There’s something about Monday… it obviously needs many, many images. So, here we go again… This is a new -magic- pineapple plant; the other one died but a few days later this one suddenly appeared in its place. I think we all kno...
Other side
I worked this bed yesterday and the one across the walk from it, pulling weeds and resetting some stones. This particular area stays cool and no weeds grow back here. Unless people come as far as the front porch they never see this side… ...
Another freaking flower
Thanks to Davek I can’t think ‘flower’ without ‘freaking’ in front of it anymore. LOL!...
They’re back!
I wouldn’t have thought it possible, after the random mess I made of the jasmine earlier this summer, but the tenacious little boogers are blooming again!...
Why not?
New plumeria blooms are sometimes very curly and infused with color, while others are mostly white. These, of course, are of the first variety. The rain had just stopped and the sun was glaring, true… but there was just something about them t...

Like you really thought I’d stop…...
Last night
Sugar cane
Apparently this is what sugar cane will do if you simply throw it on a pile of dirt. It grows! Could have knocked me over with a feather. …and another plumeria bloom, of course....
Twenty Four
Was it something I said? Right after I took this last night… the two larger blooms fell off. Twenty four hours is a hell of a short time to live…...
Tonight
Just… let me get it out of my system, k? TIA! Click for a larger image....
Opening
Some burn out with the early morning light, but I couldn’t pass these up… UPDATE: Well worth the wait!...
