Growing things

A friend from the farming class we took a few years ago brought me some plant starts - eggplant, tomato, peppers. They're tiny little things, so I don't know if I will reap any rewards, but hey I'll give it a try.


The lilies I dug up at the librarian's house are finally blooming - all yellow.


The dogs and I have been visiting the river about every other day. Walking home the other night I inhaled a small village of bugs that were swarming in the last sunlight of the day.


I love watching how the river changes. The level rises and falls throughout the year, but it also makes certain paths through the rocks and sand. At this one point in particular it seems to flow backwards for just a bit. Hard to capture in photograph, but mesmerizing to watch.

Just a cheap Nikon D40 - it's all I can afford. But the lens I use a lot of the time (50mm) makes a different on how they look.

Also, thanks for the compliment!
