Hello Mr. Grasshopper
Caught this great photo in the garden while a grasshopper was hanging out on our fig tree. I love the details of the underside of the leaf, the face, eyes and tentacles of the grasshopper, each showcasing the amazing natural patterns provided by mother nature. This makes for a great wallpaper for the desktop, tablet, phone or even your Facebook cover. Download yours now and I hope you enjoy it.
Hanging Succulent Flowers
Succulents always surprise me when they are blooming flowers. Typically the flowers usually come in the spring, as is the case with this one, but they can often appear throughout the year depending on the type of succulent.
Wet Succulent
The last few days we’ve been getting some much needed rain. California has been going through a very dry and warm winter season, so it’s nice to finally get some rain. Hopefully we’ll get a lot more with some cooler weather so we can get some snow in the mountains. During a break in the rain I went out and snapped off a few pictures capturing the fresh water drops on the plants, this one of a succulent covered in water drops turned out really nice and can be used as a wallpaper for your computer, tablet, phone or Facebook cover. I hope you enjoy it.
Gnomes N’ Kale
This week I did some gardening and planted various veggies and fruit throughout our garden yard, the sun was out, it was warm and felt really good to soak it all in. The main area I use for vegetable gardening gets about two thirds of the days sunshine. The veggies grow fairly well in the early part of spring and usually thrive in the hot 100° summer days, but not as much the last few years, the garden patch gets shadowed by our fruit trees which have more than doubled in size over the last few years, so it gets less sun as the trees begin to fill in the leaves and fruit. Which does not work as well for some veggies that require full sun to properly grow.
Weathered Buddha
Yesterday I spent most of the day in the garden, preparing and planting some seasonal vegetables and fruits that will grow over the next 3 to 6 months. Spring is one of my favorite times of the year to be in the garden, it’s when life begins to push itself out of the dormant trees, vines, and plants, they start reaching for the blue sky and warm sun, ready to grow and transform our garden into a beautiful lush paradise.
Inner Peace
Being able to find and hone-in on our inner peace is essential to keeping ourselves in balance while remaining in focus on our path in life. As believer in Buddhism, throughout my life I’ve strived to keep my inner peace regularly active. I feel it helps me be a better more caring person in life. Everyone finds their own inner peace through different means, but there are many common elements that help us achieve it.
Spring Afternoon
Spring is here and the garden is springing with life! New leafs and flowers are popping up from their dormant winter sleep. Here are a few shots I took in the afternoon sunlight of some of the succulents in our garden. Use them as wallpapers for your desktop, iPad, iPhone, or Facebook cover.
Jäger The Cat
A few weeks ago Jäger The Cat and I were enjoying some nice warm SoCal winter weather in the garden. While he is an indoor cat, we do let him go into our back yard on a harness and leash.
Leaves ‘n’ Trunk
Currently in Southern California we are getting a typical stretch of nice warm weather in the heart of Winter. This week the days have been getting into the 70’s and 80’s outside. The warm weather always gets me into our yard to see what needs to be done.
November Rain
It’s been a while since my last wallpaper post. I’ve been distracted with a few things in life. Today we got a nice rainy day. I’ve missed the rain and welcome the Fall and Winter weather this season. Today reminds me of my time living in Seattle. We’d get nice rainy days like this for weeks at a time, which would drive some people nuts, but I always embraced the weather and appreciated it for what it was.
