Tree Ova


Infant Trees, originally uploaded by Blogphotog.

I shot these maple tree pods/seeds in my back yard this morning using my Fuji S2 and a Nikkor 60 mm micro. I was surprised at how lovely they looked in a group -- the shape and form were especially appealing to me.

Dream House


16thstreethouse2.jpg

Well this former dream house is really just a dream now. It was our dream house -- until the county bought it and began to tear it down to make way for a new community center. It was quaint and just the right size and the porch, oh the porch was fabulous..... A wonderful yard with lots of trees (ok, well a lot for Arlington)....

The interesting thing about this house is the way in which they are demolishing it. Piece by piece and each bit that can be re-used will be re-used. Any toxic materials will be disposed of properly. Environmentally friendly contractors are all that Arlington County will hire. Pretty cool, eh? Well, I guess we'll be staying with our critters in our lovely condo with a nice deck and back yard for a while longer .....
