The plant shown is a wild-growing specimen of the ubiquitous European Red Raspberry (Rubus idaeus). When loose in the wild (as here), it is an amazingly successful, hardy, difficult plant that seems to grow anywhere and everywhere. Its shoots grow really fast--a couple of meters in a couple of spring months. The thorns are numerous and sharp. I learned the hard way that you have to wear heavy gloves to deal with the shoots.

Its snowing outside again thwarting some of the yard work I wanted to do today. I decided to post some images of warmth and green growing plants from my trip to Florida in January. They warmed me up a little bit.

Maybe they will remind others who are suffering from wintertime blues of the warmer, sunnier, greener days ahead.

The foal of a Belgian Draught horse at Hoeve Hangerijn is growing fast. In my albums 'Horses' and 'Near Bruges 2025' you can see a couple of earlier photos of the young stallion.

there is freedom waiting for you,

on the breezes of the sky,

and you ask, "what if I fall?"

oh, but my darling,

what if you fly?

Here’s another Vertorama from Wednesday afternoon’s shoot at Maiden’s Cove… this one was taken about fifteen minutes before sunset.

 

Okay… I realize that this photo is a bit too bright in the center and a bit too dark in some other places… but I really like the slightly hazy light… and the in-your-face back-lit sea-weed growing on (and hanging over) that rock on the left!

 

Have a great weekend everyone!!

Based on Newfoundland and Labrador statistics my life is 77% over. Funny, it doesn’t feel that way. Does it mean I’ll have to stop running and take up fishing? My running doesn’t look graceful anymore.

I’m not giving up photography, my camera will be coming with me when I die.

New spring growth.

Yesterday the weather was awesome, temperatures were in the low 70's, so my daughter and I decided to get busy. Every summer I grow herbs and flowers in pots on my front porch and we put together some of them yesterday. I can't wait until they start filling in, this one has mini daisies and pink snapdragons.

The crops are growing well with the mixture of rain and sunshine we have had lately,

This chipmunk is constantly filling its cheeks with birdseed, then running off to hide them! This seems to be its full time job! LoL! Its cheeks can triple this size, it's amazing to watch!

With bright blooms that go all summer, sunflowers are heat-tolerant, resistant to pests, and attractive to pollinators. They make beautiful cut flowers, and their seeds are a food source for birds and people! Sunflowers are heliotropic, which means that they turn their flowers to follow the movement of the Sun across the sky from east to west and then return at night to face the east, ready again for the morning sun. Heliotropism happens during the earlier stages before the flower grows heavy with seeds

one step at a time

 

This photo was inspired by Rick’s (a Flickr friend) comment on a photo of mine titled “Light” where he mentioned the idea of sharing photos of the contents of my sketchbook. Honestly, I don’t consider anything in my sketchbook as sketches but instead doodles. The concept and idea behind this doodle was important for me a few years ago when I made it and today when I see it there is still great importance in this message to myself. It is a good reminder to work at being a little more gentle with myself especially now as I’m struggling intensely with the effects of experiencing devastating trauma even after many years of therapy and hard work. That even though it feels like I’m getting nowhere there actually is noticeable improvement (due to lots of deep, hard work) and that by taking the next “small” step and doing basic things is what adds up in great ways over time. This is how I’ve survived when survival seemed/still seems impossible and/or undesirable—taking the next breath, crying a tear, doing some doodling, doing my routine of walking in the morning, taking a few pictures, spending time with my husband and children, looking for light, eating even a small meal, taking a shower, taking a small drink of water, getting out of bed in the morning, listening to some music, stepping outside for a while, and many other things. Even though I easily become angry with myself, it seems like I should be more productive, functioning better and further along in my healing and growth. This journey of growth cannot be rushed—it’s ok to grow and heal at my own pace. Slowly grow…one step at a time.

 

[I think I made this doodle sometime in 2019 and used a micron pen and watercolor paint]

The record setting heat of the past summer was shattered for several consecutive nights. Low temperatures in the mid 30s replaced the low 60s that had been in place for weeks. Patchy frost formed in some areas, bringing a selective end to the growing season, while nearby areas were spared. But the reprieve is only temporary. A killing frost is expected in the first week of October as arctic air sweeps down across the eastern half of the United States. I'm ambivalent at the prospect of losing what's left of my vegetable gardens. Lots of work to create and maintain, but tremendous Zen accompanies tending them and harvesting produce. Garden inspections are a part of my daily summer life, and the first couple of weeks after the killing frost will require some mental adjustment. Some other activity will fill the void, but as always, it's the crossover phase that's worrisome. I've tried to mitigate the sadness of seeing frozen blackness sweep over the planting beds that I've been nourishing since May. I've been pulling out the spent vines as the early plantings reached the end of the line and stopped producing. I'm clinging like grim death to whatever is still alive, trying to squeeze every last tomato and cucumber from the soil. It's become a losing battle. Even though warmer temperatures have returned, the sun angle is now much lower. The growth rate of the remaining plants is a mere shadow of what it was back in June and July when the sun hung high in the sky for 15 hours or more each day.

 

In the village cemetery the grass grows long in the old section. The summer hires that mowed the grounds through the summer have returned to college or wherever they go in the off season. Sadness seems to descend over the graves like a pall as they prepare to endure yet another winter.

I'm interrupting the Faroe Islands series, with a shot from a recent trip over to the Palouse region of Washington. Those waves of earth always amaze me.

I grow most of my herbs on flower pots and troughs, not right on the garden soil. As I move pots around depending on the occasion or just to cover an eye-sore spot. Also, I have a cat and a dog, and neighbors cats visit my garden too. Although, I haven't seen one poop, but that thought alone makes me off using herbs grown from the ground. I have seen a neighbor's Tomcat ( this was many years ago) spraying happily on my flowers and on my backdoor. Lovely sight :-(That picture still in memory and does affect my herb gardening.

 

Though this was taken 2014 yet, these herbs kept coming every year and had this flower pot their home, except the coriander, that I put every year.

 

Tenaya Lake, Yosemite National Park. I found this little pine growing impossibly in solid granite. Tioga Pass is closed for the season. I made this photograph on the last day it was open.

Well, it may not be Time, People or Popular Photography, but a cover is a cover, and this is my second one. :)

 

My little green friend from my tomato garden last year is going to be famous. I'll have to show him this later when he emerges from the ground as a boring white moth.

 

Thanks to flickr friend Bob Montgomery for scouting this image.

Templi di Angkor - Tha Prohm

A differenza della maggior parte dei templi di Ankor, Tha Prohm è stato lasciato, fino a pochi anni fa, nelle stesse condizioni in cui fu scoperto. La strana atmosfera creata dalla combinazione degli alberi che spuntano dalle rovine e la giungla circostante ne hanno fatto uno tra i più popolari e visitati templi di Angkor.

 

Angkor Temples - Tha Prohm

Unlike most Angkorian temples, Ta Prohm has been left in much the same condition in which it was found: the photogenic and atmospheric combination of trees growing out of the ruins and the jungle surroundings have made it one of Angkor's most popular temples with visitors.
