Night Hibiscus: FOTD, Oct 19, 2019

It was after dark when my neighbor called to say the dogs must have gotten to my garbage bags hanging high from the hook I’d had installed on the light pole outside our house.  Must have been tall dogs or good jumpers.  I went out to find garbage, including the kitty litter tray contents, spread over a five foot area. Twenty minutes later, it was rebagged and set out in a garbage can with screw-on lid. Yuck!!  But on my way back in, I was rewarded with this shot of my newest hibiscus lit up in the dark by the solar-powered light overhead. Quick trip to wash hands. Scrub hands. And to get my camera. This was the result:

Asparagus Fern: FOTD, Oct 16, 2019

They might look delicious, but don’t try to eat them. The berries of the asparagus fern (not really a fern) cause stomach upset and the foliage is a skin irritant. Enjoy the sight of them, but avoid other sensory usage.

Hibiscus: Flower of the Day, Sep 10, 2019

Yesterday I went down to the garden and there were two perfect blooms on my new white hibiscus bush. Today I went down to photograph them, and they were gone–lying on the ground, tightly wrapped in their burial shrouds. On my way back up to the house, however, I saw this bud which tomorrow will be in full bloom. The world keeps refurbishing itself.
