Sunday Photo Reflection #10: Of Deadhead & Re-bloom
I’d say I’m the “accidental gardner”. I picked up gardening this summer when the lansdcaping company I hired was a no-show. We had laid out the plan but when spring ended and May rolled around and they were nowhere in sight I said to myself, “Self, you can do this”. I had no tools and …

Bon Appétit Mr. Ant
On a nature trail this flower stopped me dead in my jog track and I turned back to freeze it in a photo-memory. Later when I zoomed in on the photo realized I inadvertently captured a bit of nature in motion—this ant and his worm dinner served up on a tessellate-like multi-petal platter! Bon appétit …

Sunday Photo Reflection #3: Happy Garden Vibes
Last year, around this time, NY was the epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic. I ventured out the house for only the essentials and sadly, but smartly, that didn’t include gardening supplies or plants. So, the garden languished all year—doing its best to be splendiferous with the remnants of what survived from the year before and …

Sunday Photo Reflection #1: Spring Blooms & River Flow
It rained all last night and most of today. At the first sign the rain was abating, me and my trusty iPhone headed down the stairs and across the street to the walk path and river to capture nature in her glow. First I encountered the hydrangeas on the steps as I’m heading out, they’ve …

Orchid Mom Log—1st bloom of 2021
I love orchids!!! It took me awhile to get the hang of growing them. In fact, I literally killed 9 ... no that doesn’t sound good at all, let me rephrase ... 9 orchids died while under my care (lol 😂). So this bloom is a HUGE deal—it’s from one of the orchids that is …
