Fucsia are such cheerful plants. When I was growing up my Mom had a huge one that was covered in what looked like little ballerinas. I don’t find they do overly well in my yard. I have this one in a pot so I can move it as the weather gets hotter. Anyway, that’s what’s blooming today in my yard. #bloomscrolling #bloom #flowers #garden #yard

My mini roses have got rather sad in my window box. What do we think gardeners, is it worth trying them somewhere else or be happy with the blooms I got from them in the past? I am definately going to put something else here. So do I keep or do I trash? In previous attempts to perk them up I have changed their soil, fed them rose food and even tried coffee grounds. #gardening #yard #roses

What’s blooming today is this yellow snapdragon. I don’t remember planting it among my grasses, so either he’s appeared from years past, or he’s migrated. I loved snap dragons when I was a kid. They are just such a fun flower to snap snap. #bloomscrolling #bloom #garden #yard

Sadly one of my plumeria got stem rot while it was wintering inside. I cut off the affected branch and managed to save a small top piece. After a couple of weeks in a recovery pot it has sprouted little baby leaves! #gardening #yard #plumeria

People who use outdoor furniture... when do you have the time or energy to enjoy it?

I have furniture in the backyard all wrapped and covered in a tarp for winter. The last couple of summers, we were so busy and the weather was so uncooperative that we never ended up using any of it (despite spending hours cleaning it all up at the start of summer)

I might get an hour to indulge in a cigar here and there but entertaining guests or just lounging on a summer day seems so far out of reach.

سُـكـونْ (stillness);

OK, I was reluctant to publish this because, well, nothing special about it really. But here we go - I didn't want to leave it to waste.
This shot is a long exposure taken in the yard back in February. Nothing special about it really, just that it was shot with my modified camera and without any infrared filter on lens, but an ND filter to make the long exposure. I was hoping there would be some breeze to shake the plants, but once I've set everything and was ready to shoot, everything got calm and still - hence the title.
You might some tiny vibrations or shakes in the branch on close inspection, but it's not clear right away, as if the image didn't take 10 minutes to be shot!
