  1. Purple Grass is nice. Here it doesn't survive the winters so it treated like annuals. I planted some anyway but mine isn't as nice as this.

  10. HI LEENA - Hasn't the season gone quickly? I think who ever worked the seasons out at 3 months each, had it perfectly right.

  12. TORI - thanks. That's my secret squirrel mode - ie: when I hold the camera at waist height so people are so confronted by a camera pointing at them.

  13. MERISI - that's exactly how it felt.
    I would like to say "bucolic" but that's not the right use of the word (but I think it should be!).

  14. KRIS - when I say "old" - he was RULLY, RULLY OLD. I took this photo on my way to work - 3 hours later when I was walking home, he was just putting the whippersnipper away!
