Stan & Joyce Orchard
Trying to figure it out since 1975.
First Tomatoes
They’re tiny, dark green, hard to find. But the plants are very healthy and at this rate we’ll be eating fresh tomatoes in June. That’s very early for us.
Frisky, Photogenic Elk
Some early morning visitors romped while I played around with capturing their images. Never ending entertainment.
Hummingbird Feather
Found this on our feeder outside the kitchen window. Using the Moment Macro Lens. Tiny, fascinating.
Sky Show
Saturn, Jupiter, and the moon about an hour before sunrise. Love this time of year.
Essential $%#! Job
Ya gotta love a guy with a really dirty job who has a sense of humor. FYI…we have always practiced social distancing from these guys.
First Family Gathering
First since the pandemic broke out and our family got very sick. Joyce Carol and I have been spared flu-like symptoms. Jesse and family have not. But today we grilled meat, ate things we shouldn’t, and socially distanced. A good day.
Fuzzy Antler Time 2020
Many patches of their winter coats scattered around as I mow. Love this time of year.
It’s A Green World
Our little garden friend seems greener than normal these days.
Mighty Macro
This is my first attempt at macro photography using the Moment Macro Lens for the iPhone. Pretty sure this little flower is Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare). We have tons at our place and it turns out, while they may be pretty, they’re on the state’s noxious weed list. Who knew?
Deck Friends
As we put more plants out, these little critters abound.
