Rare pierces Posted May 27, 2019 #1 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Pictures taken between Monday, May 27 and Sunday, June 2. Rules: See above That's it. This isn't a contest. All photos taken this week are welcome (not just cruising). Prizes will not be awarded. Discovering the joy of photography is the prize. The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacations and toddler birthdays. Post one. Post many. Up to you. Have fun with your camera and share your fun with others!

Oakman58 Posted May 29, 2019 #2 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Dear Mother Nature, I love spring and all, but it's the last week of May so it's time to turn off the April showers. You can't get there from here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare pierces Posted June 2, 2019 Author #5 Share Posted June 2, 2019 (edited) Five years ago we planted a little blood orange tree. It was about two feet tall and rather fragile. For the first two years it grew slowly and never produced any flowers. The third year, it had quite a growth spurt followed by another the following year. Still no indication that it was anything but a decoration. This spring, it started looking like a real tree and popped out blossom after blossom. When we got back from our trip a couple of weeks ago, it had little pea-sized oranges (”greens”, actually) all over it. Fast-forward a bit and here are some of our best chances for real, honest-to-goodness blood oranges off of our very own tree. About time it earned it’s fertilizer! About Bloody Time!

zackiedawg Posted June 3, 2019 #8 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I started this 'week' in the Picture-a-week range on Monday, which was a holiday, though I didn't download and process through the shots until this weekend...then also took shots on Saturday, which is my normal wetlands shooting day.
