Your photo for the day Friday, Apr 18 2014

Well two, actually. The old horse and the new crocus fence line. This was taken seven days ago, the crocus are essentially gone now and the field is bright green.
(p.s., I’m running Opera as a browser, if this page loads oddly or slowly tell me, I don’t know how well it is playing with photos yet)

It is trying to snow right now, but a few crocus by the foundation did bloom yesterday. I didn’t get a chance to take their photo, so this one from two years ago (and some twenty days earlier on the calendar) will be a stand in. ‘Snow Bunting’ is an appropriate name.

Your random photo of the day, standard Siberian Iris and an unnamed gold German Bearded Iris, it also looks like there was a set of unopened buds of a bronze German Bearded Iris in front.

Dancing Trees and Shadows Saturday, Mar 8 2014
gardening and Modern Photos gardening, photography 10:06
Since winter isn’t giving up here, two pictures from yesterday morning:
I sort of think the balanced red maple, nicely silhouetted by the beech leaves here, almost has the air of a Kokopelli…a very, very long way from home!
The shadow of the trunk of the big oak, almost covering Happy Thought in this picture, it looked like a giant hand when I first saw it.

A few recent photos Monday, Feb 24 2014

The old cut leaf Japanese Maple and a particularly fun early morning shadow beneath it.
The shadow without the tree, not sure which is better.
Sunset from the attic stairs landing. A typical sunset, not incredibly flashy, but still worth watching.

Pushing the camera rather too far. The light in the trees is actually ice on the highest branches. Taken from the attic landing porch.

Amaryllis rather than snow Friday, Feb 14 2014
gardening and Modern Photos amaryllis, gardening, photography 08:15
These photographs aren’t from this year; but it looks like all but one of the dozen amaryllis (some of which are many years old) will bloom this year. Not bad, now if we can just remember what we did with them last year. I think we just chucked them out on a shady porch for the summer and let them go dormant in the fall for a month or two.
For those wondering, top to bottom: ‘Apple Blossom’, ‘Apple Blossom’ and an unidentified red, ‘Jewel’ (double, tall, very fragrant), ‘Red Lion’ (very tall), ‘Apple Blossom’ red, and ‘Picotee’.
