Here and there..

Back from a trip to Alaska, all rain, moss and salt water... In Austin the yard is scorched, but I can still find spots of green and color. The big coop is complete, and more ladies are laying, leading to breakfast yumminess..

Wet...



Glaciers in the distance in Resurrection Bay


Watching salmon jump upstream in the Russian River


Snacking on salmon caught and smoked by my father-in-law at a campfire in Homer..


Lakeside marshlands..


Moss on a car- results of the temperate rain forest..


Moss and texture


Wild fungi everywhere


Driftwood puzzles..

Dry...


Cenizo blooms holding on a bit longer..


Geranium and transplanted pineapple top brighting up the shade


Ignored and in a dry box of afternoon light, this flame acanthus is stubborn and resilient (will plant a drift of them in the ground this fall..)


The back of the addition which has transitioned from bare post-contruction dust, to wildflower haven, and now an arid buffalo and wire grass corner..


Succulents peeking out from an asparagus plant..

Yummy..


Kudos to variety- eggs from my Cuckoo Maran, Catalana, Wyandotte and English Sussex


Speckled egg from a speckled hen?
