Catching Up... Part 4
I found Pinky's USB cable! w00t!
And yes. It was in one of those kinds of places where you put things just so you won't forget where you put them. And then promptly forget. o_O
Anyway, I'm going to post most of this last batch under a cut to save people's FList pages. There are nine images in all...
Day 22 - Gone to Seed
I'm not sure what kind of grass this is... It came up as a volunteer in an empty pot I had sitting on the balcony, and I left it to grow because the blades and stalks reminded me of young corn.
Day 23 - Wild Blackberries
Picked from the canes that grow along-side the Sammamish Riverwalk. I love these juicy little clusters of sour.... I can't help it. They remind me of being a kid and picking them by the bucket-full in the woods at the edge of my grandparents' subdivision.
Day 24 - Heron
Something else often found along the Riverwalk... I'm on that trail a couple of times a week, and I cross paths with this fellow and his friends almost every time I'm there. Like the kingfishers and the kestrel, I've learned to watch for them.
Day 25 - BSR's BBQ
Mr. Brightfires and his Hawaiian barbecue from L&L. 'Just taken because I realized that I didn't have a picture of him anywhere in the 30 Days set, and it seemed like he ought to be there. He hates candid photos almost as much as I do, so I had to pull out the camera when he wasn't expecting it. ^_^
Day 26 - Bob
Teacup's adopted strawberry, happy in its pot up on the balcony. There's a bit of a story behind Bob.
Day 27 - Hat of Happy
The happiest hat on Earth... My grinning, fox-earred beenie from Genki Hats. In a few months, it'll be cold enough here to wear it again. In the meantime, it's stuck on top of my hiking stick, grinning up the downstairs landing.
Day 28 - Micro Maples
More babies. We have a small forest of six Japanese maple saplings (Plus one baby Filbert tree-) growing in a big pot. They're the off-spring of an older, very beautiful tree that grew in the courtyard of our last apartment. They're not quite big enough yet to be safe from rabbits and the neighbor's kids out in the yard... The tallest of them will probably be planted out next spring, the others in a year or two more... So for now, I coddle them and treat them like my jasmine and miniature roses. Just like I did my ginko tree when it was a little smaller.
Day 29 - Squidgy
I shouldn't eat Jaffa Cakes. I really shouldn't... But how can you not love something that describes its own orange jelly center as "squidgy"?
Until we come, at last, to the end.
Day 30 - Peace
Not only a wish or a desire... but also the name of this particular variety of rose.
