A papaya tree in a sideyard of a house in Phan Thiet. I love the shape the branches and leaves make.

L/D wheel turned all the way dark.
Taken outside in the evening so no direct sunlight.
Did not shield upon ejection but did stash under my arm until I got inside, then developed face down.
It was cloudy and a chilly 34 out today. I kept warm cutting down perennials and raking leaves. She kept warm fetching the ball. Ha.
Our house has no shed! So I had to take these "sheds" from my Grandad's garage when he died. And since these aren't "real" sheds (no floor;not quite a real structure), in theory I didn't need a permit. Yay.
The iron fence behind the shed is also pretty loose (how do you re-install iron fence posts into rotting concrete? I don't want to find out), so putting the sheds here will also keep the place up to code (or at least the appearance of being up to code) by making it so you can't fall over the edge (a whopping 2 feet) if the rail falls out, because the sheds are now blocking the fall. This may come in handy once the fence completely falls out. Plus you can reach the tops of the sheds very easily from the upper patio level, so I use the tops of the sheds to store long/large things and things that are waterproof.
It's all very ghetto-rednecky, and we don't give a fuck. Giving a fuck would take even more hours of time we'd rather spend playing video games and watching TV!

BACKSTORY: Random pics taken during our 2011 house maintenance. Our most taxing house-related year since the completion of our addition.
The back yard is complete except for the installation of 2 perennials. All the plants have been placed with their mature size in mind, so they have enough room to grow and fill in the spaces without being overcrowded.
Misfit (RIP) explores the secondary retaining wall. It's hard to believe that the entire housing project spanned 4 cats. It's still our theory that their failure to clean up the drywall dust was what killed Samhain (and sickened Misfit, until WE did the broom-sweep cleaning that THEY were contractually required to do at the end of the day).

The old lanes were unpaved, unkempt places that served a useful function: the delivery of coal and other materials. They were particularly handy whith rows of attached houses where, without them, the only way to the backyard would be through the house.
In the New Urban context, with predominantly detached houses (with sideyards) the lane can morph into an ecological tool and a sensory delight.
A shallow, man-made ravine offers space for lush landscaping, water conveyace and absorption and a walking path.
There is too much asphalt in cities in any case and replacing it with green provides a necessary relief.
Complementing streets with independent paths also adds pleasant options to the desired destinations. Together they create a Fused Grid (see Wiki and photostream.)
King of the wood pile!
BACKSTORY: Clint took Beavis out for a photo-shoot. Little did he know this was his last chance to get outdoor photos of Beavis before his early demise on 2/23 ):

We got a new city sanitary sewer line on our street. We all had to put in the new lines from our houses to the new sanitary sewer line. What may look like a huge gopher trail cost us a pretty penney. Plus it totally destroyed our front and side yards and my garden.
Clint saw this deer in our yard, and he was able to get some photos of it.
You can see some of the coaster CDs that live in our trees now.

02 Exposure Test 12 (C3)
Part of my 2nd assignment "Exposure Test" in Sabine Sighicelli's MPV101 Fundamentals of Film Language class at Brooks Institute of Photography. Taken with a Minolta 7xi on Fuji Sensia 200 slide film. ASA 200, 1/15, f/4 (Overexposed by 1 stop)
ODC-Unexpected Growth
I bought 3 of these lovely Hostas. When I planted them in the spring of 2023 they grew and the leaves were white. I loved them. Then the spring of 2024 was so wet the poor Hostas seemed to deteriorate and disappear. But, they seem to have rejuvenated themselves to my delight.

The focal point of this area of the garden is the Belle de Nancy Lilac, which will eventually mature to a spread that will equal the depth of the bed. Beneath it, the perennials will compliment each other with rich foliage colours and intriguing textures. Deep purple, silver, powder blue and green will form a rich carpet of colour all summer.
A gentle rain falls softly on my weary eyes
As if to hide a lonely tear
My life will be forever autumn
'cause you're not here
Hummer's everywhere!
This will be my last of photo's for a few days! We are getting ready for a Tropical storm here, with lots of rain, and pretty gusty winds!
Spent the morning, moving objects off the deck, and securing everything!
See ya soon!
Imagine my surprise and delight to see all these huge shaggy inkcap mushrooms at my veterinary clinic property today. I ran home and got my macro lens. A few hours later, their landscaper mowed them all down.
You can see the 3 major tree cuts that we paid $500 for (in conjunction with $100 to remove the back yard tree). They were BIG BIG BIG branches. We did this after Farmers and Progressive/Homesite told us trees can't touch our roof. After we did this work, they changed their tune to "trees can't be OVER the roof". I don't think that should be legal to tell the customer they have to make certain specific changes, then turn around and say those exact specific changes were no good. Especially when it generates another insurance drop which you have to report to future insurance companies, lest you commit insurance fraud. So they force me to report a black mark against me to new companies simply because they can't make up their mind. FUCK PROGRESSIVE. FUCK HOMESITE. FUCK FARMERS. DO NOT USE THEM.
Homesite insurance, Progressive insurance, house maintenance, tree, tree cuts, tree removal.
Homesite insurance sucks. Homesite sucks. Progressive insurance sucks. Progressive sucks.

BACKSTORY: So our homeowners insurance (Farmers) canceled our policy due to having peeling paint on our window sills, and tree branches touching our roof (among other things). So we switched to Progressive and they dropped us for the same reasons. So we renewed our Progressive policy, had $600 of tree work done, and rectified most of the list they gave us. Progressive dropped us a 2nd time for new reasons, including changing the tree requirements from "no branches touching your roof" to "no branches over your roof at all", so even after following their specific advice regarding the trees, they still canceled our policy again. It's simply not possible to satisfy Progressive when they give different reasons the second time around. Most of the reasons used by Progressive to drop us the 2nd time were never given the 1st time, even though those conditions were present then as well! PROGRESSIVE SUCKS AND IS NOT WORTH IT. INCONSISTENT! And then they try to bill you after you cancel them! Anyway, we paid The Care Of Trees $600 -- the cheapest of the 15+ companies I contacted -- to do 3 major cuts ($500) and remove the pine tree behind our addition ($100). I also bought a $100 pole saw (basically chainsaw on the end of a 10 foot pole) to handle the smaller trees (i.e. the cases where it's possible to do it yourself).
