The Wordsmith's Forge

These pictures are mostly from the savanna and house yard, plus a few indoors.  See the house yard and south lot.


The Colorado blue spruce is doing better in winter than in summer.




These oak seedlings have a fresh blanket of leaves.




The daffodil bed is now clear of leaves. That's what I put around the oak seedlings.  Already the daffodils are taller than yesterday when I raked off the bed!




Maple buds are just starting to swell.




Several mourning doves perch in a walnut tree.




A male house finch perches in the forest garden, visible as a pink dot low in the middle of the picture.




This is my new fossil rock.




Here is a closeup of the fossils. They may be a fan-feeding animal, or leaves.




My Christmas cactus is blooming.




Here is a wide view of the sunset looking west from the driveway.




The clouds made interesting shapes.




The crescent moon rises over the trees.
