DAY ONE AT MAGEE

Day one at Magee
These four pictures were taken using my scope with a camera attached.
It is truly amazing that anyone spotted this sleeping whippoorwill.



This Green Heron was about 100 yards away.





This is what happens when you are a Snowy Egret in your finest breeding plumage with your ass to the wind
Note the yellow feet



This little Red Phase Screech Owl did a real good job of blending as did his mate a Gray Phase just below him out of the picture

SPRING GARDEN

This has been a very good year for our spring garden. On the left you see Climbing Italian beans and my small patch pf dandelion greens. On the right are the tomatoes and the first planting of lettuce and other assorted greens. The white pipe is new this year. The beds have four timed zones and the water will drip at set times each week.


















The second planting of greens caught up with the first. We will get one more picking of spinach today and then it will be replaced with basil.
