Gardening

So I went out in the garden to try and take some bird photos. The place is maggoty with them. Little junkos, I think. I'm pretty sure they were messing with me. Every time I'd aim and zoom, they'd take off. So I had to settle for a few pix of the veggie garden. They were more cooperative subjects.

At top, the potatoes giving it their all. Below that, the beans having a good stretch. At right, a birds-eye-view of a cucumber, enjoying the warmth of the greenhouse.

New banner

I've finally gotten around to ditching my ugly old banner at Doodlepalooza and replaced it with some new fanciness. See above. Much improved, I think. Based on the detective lino I did a few weeks back.
