This is a picture to document the tree that fell on my garden. The large tree limb, which fell on my garden. The damage is yet to be fully assessed, but the general outlook is not good. Tomatoes are down, cages are smashed, peppers are pulped and cucumbers are cut. The storm which was to bring life-giving rain to the plants, brought devastation instead. There's a life lesson to be gleaned, I am sure, but right now it's just all rather sad.
Interfering tree limbs and falling trees or branches are the number one cause of power outages in the Seattle metropolitan area. Seattle City Light's Vegetation Management Devision works hard to prune trees and trim manage vegetation around power lines to keep the power lines safe and help to keep the lights on.
Hummingbirds are the tiniest of birds, yet they are some of the toughest, most energetic creatures on the planet. Their unique flying abilities give them unmatched maneuverability, but at the cost of a supercharged metabolism that keeps them on the edge of survival.
Hummingbirds spend most their lives in fast forward, but now high-speed video lets us enter their world.

With Snowies, the black and yellow on their legs and feet is balanced by the black and yellow on their bill and lores (area in front of the eyes). Equally dramatic.

It's a new year, a new day, a new resolution that will hopefully motivate Athena to do the things that she always wish to do so.
Is today the start? Or just another day that will just slowly swift away and end daydreaming like a cardinal flying from one tree to another?

Over a long weekend a Danish photographer and I set out for an extended road trip from Copenhagen up into Sweden. Over the following several days we moved from the warm southern regions into the frozen midlands. These are the photos from that journey.

Green Lawn Cemetery is the perfect place to do Autumn foliage photography and practice social distancing during the COVID pandemic.
"On August 2nd, 1848, a group of local leaders met to form the Green Lawn Cemetery Association. Through the spring of 1849 a charter was granted, 84 acres were acquired from local ranchers, and landscape gardener Howard Daniels was hired to plan the cemetery.
The intent of this effort was to replace earlier cemeteries in the city which had become landlocked, where near the river, and were nearing capacity. Influenced by the Romantic Era in the arts and contemporary poetry, attitudes towards death were changing and cemetery design was moving away from the older graveyards, churchyards, and potters' fields towards more natural and serene settings. This was the Rural Cemetery Movement.
Howard Daniels was a purist of this concept, envisioning winding roads and paths following natural contours through dense native trees and shrubbery. Along the paths openings would dramatically reveal family lots with monumental art or a view of a pond or from a natural prominence.
With the city in the grips of a cholera outbreak, our first burial was young Leonora Perry interred on July 7th, 1849 (Leonora was later moved to a family lot in Cincinnati). It wasn't until July 9th that a grand opening was held, and by July 11th our second interment, Dr. Benjamin Gard who contracted cholera while responding to the outbreak at the penitentiary, occurred. Soon prominent families started moving their deceased from the older cemeteries to Green Lawn, and likewise the former city cemeteries were evacuated and redeveloped.
In 1898 a cast iron bridge was installed in The Ravine, and in 1902 the Huntington Chapel was dedicated. The chapel was designed by Columbus architect Frank Packard and its Tiffany decor was sponsored by board president P. W. Huntington. The chapel was expanded as a mausoleum/crematorium in two phases during the 1960's and 1970's.
Over time Green Lawn would grow to its current 360 acres with over 154,000 interments, making it Ohio's second largest cemetery. The grounds continue to feature a pre-European settlement mixed oak forest, many historic and artistic mausoleums and monuments, and it remains one of Columbus' most important cemeteries. Green Lawn provides the final resting place of founding families, several U.S. presidential families, 5 governors, 5 Medal of Honor recipients, artists, actors, and all other walks of life. Over 6,000 veterans fill seven military sections and other sections represent Jewish, Greek, Black, and other communities or various religious, fraternal, governmental, or charitable organizations.
The cemetery is a registered arboretum, and in 1999 was designated an Ohio Audubon Important Bird Area.
Today the Green Lawn Cemetery Association is a 501(c)13 non-profit volunteer board of directors. Our mission is to preserve, restore, and share Green Lawn Cemetery with the community. We also ensure that the cemetery is operated in a fiscally responsible manner and in accordance with industry standards. Our families are here and we are committed in our responsibilities to "Our Very Special Park". Previous text from the following website: www.greenlawncemetery.org/about-green-lawn/our-history
A tree lost its branch (probably due to a passing truck) and the water leaking out of it has formed some icicles. It never made it above freezing today, and I was attempting to photograph the drips.
Clouds and sunlight as I approached the car to leave work. Snapped these to show my wife and ended up posting all of them here on Flickr.

It was a warm, late summer day, about 85 degrees with no wind. I was playing tennis at Vermont Canyon courts when suddenly the thunderous sound of a huge tree branch crashing down stunned everyone. Wood chip dust filled the air and a car lay under the top of a tree branch, damaged. Right before I took this shot I was staring at the tree as it was still attached to the trunk wondering why this happened at that particular time on this particular day when one more wrenching sound occurred and I watched as the still-attached section of the branch snapped from the trunk and the fence beneath it rolled back in submission like a sardine can lid. Nature baby!
