We were transplanting among the last of the plants (in this case a butterfly bush) near an elephant ear plant when I noticed the sunlight coming through the leaf, and the smutphone was the only thing handy, not to mention that my hands were dirty and it was the only thing that I wanted to handle anyway. Still not sure of the exact species so that information will wait for another time. Gave a little boost to saturation and contrast to make it look how I remembered it, as well as more closely matching the phone display.<\/p>\n<p>And then, we were out and about yesterday and came across this ginkgo (<em>Ginkgo biloba<\/em>) tree just losing its leaves, which was a little surprising to The Girlfriend and I, since most other trees are largely bare. I found a patch of blue-ish shy and fired off a few frames.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/GinkgoGold.jpg\" alt=\"ginkgo Ginkgo biloba leaves in autumn colors against wispy clouds and blue sky\" width=\"750\" height=\"1150\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-37869\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/GinkgoGold.jpg 750w, https:\/\/wading-in.net\/walkabout\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/GinkgoGold-137x210.jpg 137w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><br clear=\"all\"\/>We&#8217;re waiting to see if the one we transplanted a couple weeks ago takes hold in the spring, while two others, much smaller, reside in the greenhouse for now<strong>;<\/strong> the pot of one of those has been chosen, twice, for fire ant infestations &#8211; I mean, not by <em>us<\/em>, but by the ants themselves, despite our disapproval. I think the second attempt to convince them of their folly (by wholesale slaughter) might have worked. They probably wouldn&#8217;t hurt the tree by being in there, but this whole thing about swarming and attacking anything that disturbed the pot, even by watering, wasn&#8217;t flying with us.<\/p>\n<p>I might try and get some more pics up a little later on today &#8211; we&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;re just a tad late, but not too much, and so we&#8217;ll see November out on its own (but always welcome to visit, as long as it&#8217;s not overnight) with the month-end abstracts.
