Musings

What’s hue opinion?

Blue-purple? Purple-blue? Or perhaps just a shade of blue?

Stay back! Stay safe!

Caged fleurs.

Contrasting media

Time change…upside-down rain-drop world?

Dark shadow

Delayed post apologies…pre-time change anxiety? 🤣

Stumped no more

A non-self-driving robot came and de-stumped us…actually, it ground (sawed) up only one stump. We kept the others to hold the bank that they’re embedded in.

And thus we have the end of the wind-felled tree saga…except for creating a new version of the back garden now that it gets some sun. I emphasize: some.

Marking time

We’re in that transition season when (some of) the grass is still winter-brown, with green accents from early turf-onions. Also, we may be in the coldest phase of this spring, and it’ll be warmer from here on (here’s hoping?).

Precip on petals

During my post-rain walk, I discovered many dewy blooms, not all as elegant as this deciduous magnolia.

Relocated by wind

We’re supposed to have a front come through overnight, so windy storms, perhaps (hopefully?) weaker than the other weekend that caused us to need four large trees removed. Whew. Still, before the winds, somehow a fading camellia blossom found its way to our front steps this afternoon.

Photo tale

I just stepped out to get a moon shot, well, the photo kind, but I wasn’t terribly stable, so the moon is blown-out.

Crystallographic tale

Crystals are…seductive? Otherworldly? [This image is presented approximately life-sized, if memory serves….]

Our word crystal derives ultimately from the Greek word for both “rock crystal” and “ice.” Very parallel.
