We need these right now – it got down to -6°c last night, and is only slightly better as I type this.
I took these only a couple of days back to illustrate how confused the Key lime trees (Citrus × aurantiifolia) seem to be, producing new blossoms right alongside fruit that was still ripening. Make up your mind!
This is in the greenhouse of course, and the heater within
I’ve been in the middle of two video projects, trying to find the opportunities to finish them, so naturally I add a third. But I got a handful of photos today as well, so here’s what’s been happening here (except for the other things which you’ll see eventually.)
First off, I noticed something slightly odd-looking about a few of the wood ducks (Aix sponsa) this morning,
I don’t have to tell you that today is Harvest The First Of The Citrus From The Greenhouse Day, because I’m sure you’re already deeply involved in this yourself. We’ve been watching the lemons and the Key limes developing, wondering how many would be ready for the holiday – it wasn’t a huge haul, certainly not the bulk of what’s out there,
… of these conditions.
These are all from yesterday, when the temperature here topped 18°c – not bad for December 30th, and I think it got even higher today. A cold snap is on its way, with the possibility of it dipping below -5°c, so these pics are in appreciation, and to refer back to when we’re not going out at all.
First off, the turtles put on a display.
That’s
So yesterday I determined that there were a few shots that I wanted to capture today, and had them scheduled in. The weather, however, had other ideas, and most of the day was rainy, not at all conditions for what I had planned (which, successful or not, I’ll reveal eventually – just not in this post.) Thus I resigned myself to skipping photography for the day and working on other tasks
Just a handful of photos, some a few weeks old (from before the eclipse, even,) right on up to today, because I felt the need to update some.
We’ll start with another semi-abstract, taken on the day of the previous month-end abstract (though that post had already gone up.)
This is the favorite Japanese maple, a small one that’s remained potted but has the thickest canopy
This is the 30th post beginning with “More” – just so you can keep track. You never should have lost count in the first place.
But as I said in the previous post, there are more signs that spring has arrived, and I present a few. Plus some extras – that’s called a “loss leader,” to rope you in.
We must start off with the first open blossom
