Wheatberries


The depths that the human race will sink to, here a fully baited trap to catch father in laws...

Where the wild beasts roam....


And further along the road, a small flock of sabre tooth donkeys. Vicious little buggers...

Misty

A misty day today, eagles flying at the edge of the light.

A year (or two) in the life of a bed

The blue heron had arrived as we were dusting off the front bed, two years old now and things have changed in that short lifespan.


There are 22 months between the two images and some of our original plants have grown a lot bigger in that short time.


The Japanese maple was uprooted one night, probably by a deer or a bear and is currently recuperating in a pot at the side of the house, replaced by "Rustle" our vibernum.

In Flight

And then, a minute later it took off.


Where : Creekside Crescent, Gibsons
When : April 9th, 2010

Great Blue Heron

We have seen a pair of herons cruising around the house for the past two weeks or so, elusive to the camera it was great to be able to take a breath and capture this guy in our own tree.
