Happy sights to see

An assortment of visual awesomeness of weeks recent:

Canine that knows how to work the dramatic lighting -

Spider that is doing an excellent impersonation of a nubbin on a twig. Only, perhaps, a poor choice of substrate -

Spotted by the Curmudgeon in a suburban shopping centre. A penguin that will test your skills indeed -

Finally, roots shooting (is that an oxymoron? Do shoots, in turn, root? I think not.) on my tomato cuttings, as per everydayinthegarden’s instructions -

So, what’s been delighting your eyeballs? Rewarding your retinas? Percolating pleasingly in your pupils?

Urban farming

Tis that time of year again, when the quantity of tasty things in my garden exceeds the capacity of my belly. Yum. However behold my first ripe tomato:

Boo to you, rot. Boo.

The peach tree is splendid, as always:

Last night while doing the rounds before bed – I like to go out with a torch and watch the spiders building webs – I saw a marbled gecko hanging out on a peach! Probably feasting on the many tiny beetles in the bird-pecked fruit, methinks. Forgive me for linking to the Hun, but apparently lots of folks are reporting geckoes this year.
