That was the basic theme of my day, aside from some ackward and rather heavy lifting around the house trying to create order without simply chucking stuff in the trash.
I spent a good deal of time outside and while I don't seem to have much of a garden in the wide shot I'm finding all sorts of things to marvel at up close. Today I made myself tiny. I became my camera and entered a microcosm inside my front yard.
This continued into my walk. Mostly pictures, not a lot of ID'ing stuff either because for many I just don't know.
Right outside the front door...
A few more meters, I'm on the sidewalk now. African daisies, Dimorphotheca sinuata or Dimorphotheca aurantiaca.
Baby Snapdragon (Linaria maroccana), right next to the daisies.
Oleander about a block into the walk.
From a distance you may have thought this rose was old and tired. Come in close, it's alive.
A tiny flower on some hedges.
Ever make a wish on a dandelion?
The dried up spent fruit of the sweetgum tree. Last February I rolled my left foot on one of these and went for a tumble, fortunately sans camera.
No ID.
No ID #2.
This is a fruit tree on campus. I don't recall actually seeing the fruit though. Maybe a plum?
Yesterday I mentioned the scarlet bugler (Penstemon centranthifolius) was blooming, here's a photo.
I also mentioned another hummingbird favorite, Grevillea olivacea.
This young egret is a contrast to the little things above but is quite diminutive compared to the egret I usually saw back in October-December, seen here and here and in other posts too. Perhaps an offspring?
Australian Native Wattle Tree.
No ID #3 or is it 4?
Some sage. Maybe a variety of Salvia clevelandii. I don't know, mine all died.
The 1st image here was ID'd last year as Aloe striata "Coral Aloe." I'll double check the other one another day. I don't believe they're the same.
