This guy might need a four leaf clover to survive another summer of racoon attacks. My 2nd shot on Explore! The highest it has made it is #117 for July 10, 2008. Thanks for the compliment, Interestingness algorithm!

A great idea to convert the old construction trailer into something like this. Now chickens live in it ;-) One of the hens is probably looking at the weather. Is it pleasant or would you rather go back in? It quickly disappeared again ... We also once had a site trailer in our garden. When we built – sooo long ago ... We could stow our tools there and hide in a rain shower ...

Eine prima Idee, den alten Bauwagen so umzufunktionieren. Jetzt wohnen Hühner drin ;-) Das eine Huhn schaut wohl gerade nach dem Wetter. Ob das wohl angenehm ist oder lieber wieder rein? Schnell ist es wieder verschwunden ... Wir hatten ebenfalls einmal einen Bauwagen in unserem Garten stehen. Als wir gebaut haben – sooo lange ist's her ... Man konnte da gut das Werkzeug verstauen und sich bei einem Regenschauer verkriechen ...

"Reality, whether approached imaginatively or empirically, remains a surface, hermetic. "

~ Samuel Beckett

 

hermetic

1. Completely sealed

2. Impervious to outside interference or influence

refreshment for my antipodes :-)

Yesterday there was some ice on the rain barrel again.....

Watering Cans and guess.

The rain from the eaves is captured and travels down this pipe to one of the many rain barrels we have for watering the garden and flowers.

Colorado just passed a law allowing rain barrels to collect rainwater in people's yards. Water rules are so strict in the American West and Southwest that there are/were laws prohibiting people from collecting rain on their property/leaseholds because this might keep precious water from reaching the holders of water rights in their area. Seriously.

 

This is a ditch gate to control water flow both in the ditches and to help prevent flooding when all that rain barrel water pours into the streams.

 

Many environmentalists and futurists are concerned that water may be the cause of increasing global strife.

This garden evolved after a 70-foot-tall Cottonwood tree that grew in this spot was struck by lightning and had to be removed. Below are a collect of the same spot over the years. (No photos were available for 2011 or 2012.)

after saving him from drowning in my rainbarrel I thought he could do some modeling for me in return

he was a bit stubborn - but overall the cooperation was good and the result pleasing

 

nachdem ich ihn vor dem Ertrinken in meinem Regenfass gerettet hatte, dachte ich, er könnte im Gegenzug etwas für mich als Model arbeiten.

er war dabei zwar etwas störrisch - aber insgesamt war die Zusammenarbeit gut und das Ergebnis erfreulich
