Newly planted urn and thunderstorms
Comments (9)Came through the overnight storms just fine, thank goodness. soxxxx - my fear isn't really the wind knocking over the pot, I can see the stone wall it's sitting losing a major load-bearing stone, pot tumbles into sunken garden, on the way down hits the bench first, then continues to smash to smithereens on the garden floor. :) Here are pics of three other urns I planted yesterday. This one DID meet with an unfortunate accident several years ago, but I loved it so much I couldn't toss it. It's terracotta. It comes apart in three or more pieces if you lift it the wrong way. I merely fit it back together like a jig saw puzzle and carefully plant and move it about. Now who's crazy? The next photos are urns I normally sit on the sunken garden floor, but decided to put them on the walls this year. They are also terracotta but have a wonderful aged appearance and when in the shady moist atmosphere of the sunken garden, develop a nice greenish color and sometimes moss! They'll lose that now by sitting in bright sun most of the day. I planted blue lobelia, peach verbena and vanilla million bells petunia. I don't have the best of luck with verbena, but the color was so pretty I couldn't resist....See Morerain/thunderstorms AGAIN
Comments (5)I don't mind the rain, but it's the lower temps, lower dew points and overcast days. To me, the perfect weather is sunny, warm and a little rain every day. I'd have to say Florida weather is great. The sunny days, humidity, and a quick rain every day for an hour or 2. They have been known to get their droughts tho....See MoreGlade herping in a thunderstorm
Comments (3)Shame, it was a sweet snake. Sweet looking, anyway. I can't speak for its disposition, though. :-) On a serious note, next Thursday's looking like a beautiful possible coachwhip day. It's supposed to be like 68 for the high, about 20% precipitation, sunny. I'm thinking about hitting ha ha tonka again. Kevin...See MoreSome thunderstorm we just had!

6 years agoThank you for your kind words...I'm just lucky to have found the perfect camera for my kind of use...it is doing everything automatically and even my shaky hands can make nice pictures now...some years ago it was taking 100 pictures and maybe 5 good enough to show, but with all that new technical progress nearly every picture is perfect...
and the rest is just seeing all that beauty in my small garden world and whenever the light is good running inside and getting the camera:-) and even my mobile is taking wonderful pictures nowadays, bought a new one with a 23 mb camera, same quality as my big camera...
Some hostas are perfect for raindrop pictures, especially Halcyon and all its sports. The drops are so perfect on them while on others they are just splashes of water and some like Touch of Class aren't holding water at all...
Happened to stumple over some baskets for hanging plants today. Have a hanging hosta garden now :-)
and a single sneaker that I took home from work is now a pot...
