I remember making dolls with these flowers when I was young. The blossoms made beautiful ball gowns.

...when outtatowners, city slickers and some other disrespectful individuals show up around here.

 

They park everywhere, throw litter, get drunk and basically don´t behave at all.

 

That´s when I get out, take a long stroll along the shore line to reduce the number of pestering critters: the Cormorant birds.

 

Doing that, has also, another, positive effect on the number of visitors.

Christmas at my parent’s house… this was a really off Christmas because I’m in a new state, living in a rental while my house is being built, essentially living out of boxes. It wasn’t a bad Christmas by any means, it was just weird- different. I am looking forward to 2019 and all the change it will bring.

 

Merry Christmas to one and all!

Here's hoping that everyone had a peaceful, beautiful Christmas and holiday season. It was a great first Christmas in the new house, and it was great to spend some quality time with my parents. Bittersweet with everything going on, but still as 20198 ends, I believe that 2020 will see better days.

The old rose bush has been here as long as we have lived here and probably for many years before. I would imagine it is at least 75 years old. It has survived deer, rabbits, Japanese beetles and our misguided attempts to prune it.

It is filled with gorgeous deep pink, extremely fragrant roses from late May till the hardest of frosts finally takes away the last bloom of the year.

Thanks to all of you for the 300 views :D

This female house finch sat still for a brief moment just long enough for me to push the shutter button.

Snapped at the garden center. I like the poinsettias that look like someone sprinkled bleach on them. I also like the half red/ half pink leaves.

Sunlight and warm breezes dancing amongst choisya flowers. Scent in the air. Summer is here :)

The snow having been cleared off the car after our big snowstorm, it was free to collect frost overnight. And to my delight, tiny snowflakes had also fallen here and there. Here, the snow and the frost were different colors in the morning light, the difference visible even to the naked eye. Each little scene was different, and the sun was changing--and melting--them quickly, so I had to choose the best scenes and capture them while I still could.

 

The largest snowflake here is about half a centimeter across.

Gooseneck Loosestrife. Very Invasive species! Blooming in mid to late summer, the ½ inch, star-shaped, white flowers are borne on stems that are about 12 inches tall. The flower heads have a bend or curve in them, creating a whimsical "gooseneck" appearance. All plants point in the same direction, giving the effect of a gaggle of geese. From China and Japan.

Last weekend I put up the tree, covered it with lights and we decorated the fireplace mantle. This weekend we finished off the ornaments and watched some Christmas movies I had never seen. I think I needed a day like today more than I realized.

My son and I made a little detour today to check on a Black Berry patch we discovered a month or two ago ~ we just wanted to see if maybe they were getting ripe enough to pick. As you can see ~ it was a Berry Berry Good Trip...

Taken in my garden

My new Xmas tree taken with an old Hoya Star Six filter.

Several blue jays hanging out in our backyard... hope to get some great shots in coming weeks.

Thanks to skeletal mess for the texture.
