trials & errors

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Thu Jan 27, 2011 5:24 am

well, it is not that easy. i need some getting used to for posting pictures here. i have to resize the picture each time in this camera, which is a little tedious. anyway, i thought i will put some pics in today.

another start, Uh!

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Thu Jan 20, 2011 5:20 am

hello,
few days ago, i started writing. then i uploaded a picture - or i tried to. but i had to resize the pic. the camera is a new one, i am just getting the hang of it. hence the title.

a very belated happy new year to all out there in gs.

it is time for a lot of flowers in the garden, i have not been able to do much this time, since we had our grandson here for a few weeks. they have gone back, and i feel a bit lost in the house.
some of the latest pictures i have taken from my garden.

this is the yellow one

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Tue May 11, 2010 6:51 am

this is better than explaining.

days are very hot but there is some amount of rain at night to cool a little. but it is so humid, i feel drained of all energy.
well, there are a lot of flowers and i feel so happy to be in the garden. there are lots to do before the monsoon starts here.

summer it's hot

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Sat May 08, 2010 6:26 am

it really is getting very hot these days. we are getting some thunder showers as well. but my plants are thriving anyway. got some pictures here, the mushroom is rare. the lace myrtle is full of flowers and the number of bees coming to feed on them!

beautiful

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Tue Apr 13, 2010 5:41 am

I was not able to get this flower fully bloomed. so here it is.


is it a cactus? ( photo / image / picture from greenfairy's Garden )






( photo / image / picture from greenfairy's Garden )



many of the plants have their flowers now, it is really delightful in the garden. still, the foliage is so refreshing. the temperature is soaring, and we still haven't got the usual rains of the summer. lots of cases of sun burn in the country. but we are very fortunate to have water in the well and the greenery around. blessings in abundance.

some more greens

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Sat Mar 13, 2010 5:41 am

ok, they gave me a prize for my small garden this year also. in fact, it was a surprise for me because, i entered my name only on a friend's insistance and then the judge who came to inspect was not very impressed since i had nothing new from last year. anyway, i think there weren't many entries to compete. but i feel happy about the whole thing, and i feel like i am doing something in the garden.

some more pictures from the garden to go with this.

beautiful & perfect!

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Tue Mar 09, 2010 5:54 am

the thing is, everything in nature is beautiful and perfect. only we make them imperfect, distorted, and corrupted. when i take a look around in the garden, i am always reminded of how perfect it all is.

so, here are some of the plants which i feel are perfect. i do not know what to do when pests arrive though. in fact, the pests are also perfect & beautiful.

some flowers

Category: nature's marvels | Posted: Fri Mar 05, 2010 11:45 am

hello,

i feel i have to write today. nothing in particular, but to keep in touch. uploading some pictures of the bogainvillea i have. i do not know whether i can call them bonsai, but i have put them in shallow pots, and they are very young. since they come out with flowers, i wait until they finish flowering to trim them.
