I've found four so far. I made Will kill three of them. The fourth one disappeared before I could get Will to kill it for me. These things are crazy looking. And they are eating my tomatoes! We didn't have any insect problems last year so I didn't even know what this was at first. We actually saw a five-spotted moth out on the fence a few weeks ago, but I had no idea it had come from one these things that eats tomato plants.
Between the horn worms and the grasshoppers, I have to fight for my tomatoes!
This statue is in the sideyard of St. Francis Catheral. The golden light, fog, and snow were mystical.
From lunch break on day one of landscaping. The landscapers made a crude ramp for the wheelbarrows using our old paving stones.
This guy is part of the raccoon family that lives in our brooklyn neighborhood. He is known to eat tomatoes that fall off the vine in our little city gardens--AND he frequently cools himself off in our neighbors swimming pool, wet raccoon tracks and all! we first noticed him as he walked along our sideyard fence. I happened to look up from the table just in time to see his very fat tail going by. I rushed to the back door to see where he was headed, where my gaze met his instantly. he stared at me as I asked him what the heck he was doing in brookyn... i then told him to go home, and he disappeared behind the neigbor's fence. Luckily, our 2 black labs have YET to find themselves face to face with him-- they usually only catch a glimpse of his backside as he claws his way up the nearest tree or telephone pole!
These raised beds will most likely be rebuilt and expanded upon, and also we'll likely do some more food producing fruit trees as espaliers against the south side of the house, and maybe in the front garden as well, adjacent the driveway.
This is Courtney. She's also not dead. About an hour ago I would have bet good money otherwise. Fortunately, she is fine. And still a bit silly.
Man, these cats are going to be the end of me.

Side Yard Swing
I got back from Seattle this morning and then headed up to Brigham City to see my grandparents.
I am really happy with this photo; I like the composition, and I also really appreciate that this shot was my grandparent's idea. We were having dinner and they asked if I had taken my photo of the day, and if I hadn't I should take one of their swing in the side yard.
Re-Test with the T2i Canon with the SIGMA 10-20mm. I am planning to squeeze in time to visit museums, landscapes, etc. Affordability advantage meets creativity angles pretty much with lighting and speed fun control to this DSLR. Basically, flickers are an addicting noise-like melody capturing a million stories—no Lightroom or Photomatix effects.
I left the house early this morning and noticed little nubbins on my hydrangea plant. When I returned, this bud looked like it was singing with its new immersion into life.
Rhododendrons on left are white blooming along with the Azaleas called Fragrant Star. The ones on the right are yellow blooming Rhodies. Nice when they are in bloom. This was taken a year after the grass was put in, along with the plants. It was a junk collection area when we first moved here.
Just recording where we're at in the plan to turn this extra lot into my food-raising area. In the back left of this shot is my single raised bed. In the foreground are some cinder blocks and large branch marking out the dimensions of the bed we'll put in for blueberries. It will have to be fairly tall and deep. I won't use cinder blocks but have something else in mind. Heaps of edging blocks are laying around, awaiting my artful arrangement of them into outlines of future beds. We'll build the blueberry bed, one for asparagus, and one more for annual veggie rotations this year. The rest will have to wait for future years.
Leonard sitting in a rat-baby sized drinking glass. I love all 3 of these. Every photo from the shoot came out great.. I'll upload more tomorrow.
