Figtrees

figtree among the snow

This is 90% photoshop, created after a photoshop course I've just completed.

My collage for the student exhibition.

All stock images were photos I've taken myself over the years. The branches came from completely different trees to the trunk, and elements of the background and foreground were mashed together from many different locations.

'Tis the season for Figs ... and the tree is full, well was until the birds figured it out too. Still that's ok because my wife and I don't eat that many of them.

I seem to be obsessed with light and so found a patch of good light and a ripe fig and waited .. and waited .. and .. well you get the picture. After they decided that even though I was ugly but reasonably safe back they came.

The talented Mrs. Beavan that's what my kids called her.

Amazing fig tree in Mossman Gorge

We finally got our lawnmower fixed, it was broken for nearly a month. Our backyard was like Jurassic Park. We're also letting grass grow into the flower bed along the back fence, we weren't doing anything with it anyway.

Things are filled with blooming, budding potential today, and it fills me with excitement!

Inside the Figtree Cave at Wombeyan Caves in the NSW Southern Highlands

I'd never been to these caves, despite them being the closest ones to home. The dirt road that takes you there is a bit of an adventure ~ narrow, pot-holed, winding...

Reminded me on several occasions of Arlo Guthrie's 'Motorcycle Song'... "On one side of the mountain road, there was a mountain. On the other side... there was nothin'. Just a cliff & the air"

Un higuera en invierno / A figtree in winter

I completely forgot to tell our cat sitter to water our garden while we were on vacation. So quite a few things did not do so well. The fig tree did ok (it has lost it's leaves, but it's already budding some new ones) and the figs are starting to ripen nicely. There are 37 total figs on the little tree and it's definitely bending under the burden....I just have to decide what to do with all of them...Eating out of hand is the first option, my second thought is some sort fig jam or something similar. Mmmmmm fig jam.

Havin a little freaky fun with CS2.

DM Rosner and I were surprised to see one of Mr Tanner's friends today. He didn't tell us to look out for this guy. Maybe that's why the friend doesn't seem happy.
