Today's Urban Wild Life

This Great White Egret is quite at home in our urban wilds. Plenty to
eat as it goes on with it's hunt.

I would to think this garden guardian found that hornworm that snacked
on this season's first tomato. This hornworm would have been quite a
juicy snack.

It spies something bigger than a fly.

So pedestrian.

Big Blue's Mid Grand Finale - Day 14

Establishing Some Liriopi spicata - Creeping Lilyturf - Revisited

Thru some cuttings on these newly transplants. To give a chance to
survive both, sun and the human process of being an avid gardener.

Another down pour of rain today helps with the chances of surviving.

Disturbed Soil Survivors And Remnant Souvenir

This disturbed soil(sand) survivor most likely came from the soil
removed from my poured porch project last summer. The excess
sand was wheelbarrowed to the back of my backyard and then
brought back to level these pavers and from a long nap they
awaken.

It's been years since I last saw this specimen, the Prickly Poppy -
Argemone pleiacantha. This specimen has large white poppy
blooms with a yellow core. Once this matures the foliage turns
to a blue-gray.

You can see the bits of concrete in this recovered sand that was exhumed. 


Also found in this recovered sand is another of many souvenirs from when
this house was first built in 1927, a remnant from times past. A china chard
from a cup or saucer.

Little Wonder Big Fragrance

This native Florida briar has big thorns and little flowers with a big honey
like fragrance. One of several Smilax varieties.

Macadamia Nut Tree Gets A Major Trim

After gifting me with it's first blooms and no nuts this winter. 

I thought I would read up on it's care and only to find out that it 

needed some trimming to open up at it's crown. This specimen

could bloom multiple times through out the year.

Big Blue's Trajectory Is Locked In - Day 12

Getting set to pierce the sky and hope it manages to miss the power lines
this time around.
