My other love

is Nature and all that comes with the territory.   When i’m not photographing things or people and not working on albums I like to get out in my garden/orchard (a VERY small one) and tend to the plants and the garden.   We’ve been having some strange rain patterns lately and it has been raining sporadically for the past 2 weeks.  I actually love rain and we’ll need the water we get now when it gets really HOT in a month or two. 

 Here are some photos of (yeah I know i’m still taking photos i’m horrible) of some of the things growing in my garden…

 

The skies before the rain moved in… lately we’ve had some pretty crazy skies here.

The elephant ears and the mint growing in my garden.  I need to go pull the grass growing in between.

My nectarine tree is bearing fruit, in a few weeks these will be ripe enough to enjoy.

My walnut tree came back to life late, I had almost pulled it out of the ground until the first rain breathed life into it and now it’s BACK!!

The dwarf lemon tree is bearing fruit, again two to three more weeks and these will be ripe enough to be harvested. 

Firewood waiting to be chopped up prior to this winter. 

I just love textures and this texture is kinda neat..

Ohhh must breat that in the morning before someone accidentally falls on it.

This cloud formation reminded me of the Time Warp ribbon from Star Trek Generations..  

More mint, I tell ya this mint is growing like crazy in my garden and I’ll run over an occassional stalk with the lawn mower and you’ll have a minty fresh garden
