{127-132}--Project 365-2014...



 127-365
'Through the Island'
I try to give each area of our yard a name.  
That way, when we talk about an area, we know which one.  It almost works.  
This is the Island Bed.  
We have a circular drive, and it just seemed to be the right name.  
In the distance, is the Front Bed.

 128-365
'They're He-e-er'
It has begun.  The next generation of deer.  
They're harder to catch sight of right now.  
But, in a couple weeks, they'll be braver and the mommas will let them be seen more.
They're cute....but, they'll be eating the landscape soon.

 129-365
'Playin' Possum'
Look who we found, sleeping in the cat's bed, on the porch. 
 A baby Possum.  
We got him out of the bed and off the porch, 
before the other furry critters...who live here...could get to him.
Or, the other way around.

 130-365
'Biloxi Beach'

 131-365
'New Bridge to Ocean Springs'
The old bridge, from Biloxi to Ocean Springs, Mississippi, 
was torn up during Katrina's visit.  This is the new one.  
Quite nice.

132-365
'Stormy Skies Over Biloxi'
There was stormy weather along the coast.  
I tried to capture the sun coming through the clouds.  
I think I used a polarizing filter on this.  
I should write things down.

'Jerusalem Sage'

Love the Dr. Seuss-type blooms.

 123-365
'Prickly Pear Bud'
This prickly pear has been in our garden for some time.
It's never bloomed.  This year it has a lot of buds.
We were away, when it bloomed.  Our daughter sent us a picture.
Hope it blooms next year, and we get to see it.

 124-365
'Grapevine Flowers'
I posted a picture of the buds on our grapevine.
Now, the flowers.  I like them.

 125-365
'The Grove at Sunset'
The wildscape grove, behind our house.
I call it the Deer Grove, because the deer hang out there.

126-365
'Peter's Parrot'
Our daughter gave her daddy a metal parrot, to hang in 
his tropical part of the porch.
