Out in the botanical gardens taking pictures (with the DSLR, not just selfies).

Looking mighty purdy ms queen.

Ugh. Anal surgery is possibly the worst combination of words.

Anal Prolapse.

That just can't be the first post after an elegant selfie.

Sorry. :-(

Summer Queen, you look lovely.

We're off to the vet to get his suture from his neutering looked at in an hour.  This photo was taken soon after the procedure.   Poor thing hasn't had the cone of shame off in ten days.

Daaaaaw! Look at that wittle face!!

So we had heavy rains for several days recently and a leak opened up in my closet.  When the weather got better I decided to add some flashing and repaint the wood siding on a few home made skylights.  While I was up there I couldn't resist taking some photos of the garden from this unusual perspective.

This one I took just yesterday when it was good and sunny.  (The rest were taken on the original reconnaissance mission a few days ago when the raining finally let up.)  This one shows the Southeast corner of the garden which is the portion behind our old warehouse.



And this one shows the rest of the area directly behind our building, a 40 by 40 foot area.  That archway where the path goes through is across from our back door.



Panning further north and overlapping the area covered by the last photo.

Wow, no matter how I try to enter photos here it only lets me post three.  Weird.  But there are more to come in another post then.

Part two.

This one looks directly toward our Northern border and shows the gravel entryway just inside the back part of the garden.

This one shows the Northeastern corner of the garden, along with the park beyond.

This shows part of the side garden, the newest least developed area in the garden.

The picture showing the border along the street isn't all that great.  Think I'll let it go.  Does anyone know what it takes to post more than three pictures?  You'd think the fact that they're being hosted off site would alleviate the need.  Oh well.

Those are fantastic. Thanks for posting.

How much time do you think you put in planting/maintaining this beauty? You obviously derive pleasure from it.

I haven't finished editing the ones with the selfie, so here are some others I recently took. Spring is here.

Cherry blossoms and camellias

Hooman boyfriend. If you look closely enough, you can see Kíli's reflection in his glasses.  We could have had a perfect album liner notes photo but fuzzbutt had to be in the shot.

Great. I really liked the third flower picture. Beauty with imperfections.

Camellias are very interesting in how they age. This one looked a lot like moth's wings.
