Let's Finish Those Sunflowers

Although there actually might be a few more later, but I'll be shifting to the alley after these.




The Canon's macro feature is turning out to be useful.




The sunflowers are about used up but now I've got other stuff growing.




The four cameras I use now cover every base-- there is simply no need for any others. There's the Nikon DSLR, the estate sale Kodak, an eBay Sony, and an eBay Canon. 




Almost done.

Done. Next time we will be checking out another alley. I guess I could mention that I put my gym membership on hold for three months. I want to see how I do using my own weights. I'd kind of like to go back to the old "weights and a walk" routine.

Still Among The Sunflowers

They don't look like much anymore.

 Viewer discretion advised! This sort of thing makes Lubbock law enforcement very upset. In fact, this sort of thing upsets a lot of our citizens. At least these bugs are not drinking alcoholic beverages...


I still need to process the new alley pics.




By the way, I read this morning that 50,000,000 Facebook accounts have been hacked. Ho hum. Don't have one of those accounts. Never have had a Facebook account. To those who spend their lives on Facebook, I suggest getting a REAL life, if you even know what that is.

I'll finish the sunflowers next time.

Back To The Garden

Actually, this is garden number two. The rose garden is still doing well. But number two, with the sunflowers and wild stuff, is really in decline and won't be photographed again, unless I focus on the birds who still visit that garden.




I managed to get a few birds this time, too.




My wife enjoyed this garden a lot, since it is visible from her office and it borders the patio. It was my little plot of land, to do with as I pleased, and I wanted to make it semi-wild. It's never been the same from year to year.




It took hours of back-breaking work to dig out Bermuda grass to make this garden. If I want to increase its size by another 40% or so it'll take even more hours of hard labor. If I do that, I'll do it with hand tools again, the primitive way.




I'll finish this next time.
