At work, this morning.

Fortunately, when they built the parking lot they had the good sense to preserve this tree.

A year or so after I bought this house I planted a couple Mugo Pines near the corner of the back yard. One of those had an infant Oak hidden in its midst, so I unexpectedly got a bonus tree. This picture shows both, intermixed. And the pic's title reflects (reveals?) my affection for Alexander Kent, Patrick O'Brian, C.S. Forester, and their ilk. What can I say? ========== Last April 22 I wandered around the yard with the FujiFilm F200, shooting pix I thought looked interesting. Each photo has something to recommend itself, but on the whole none worked really well. I'm happy with the trumpet vine pic I posted a year ago. That bird house post used to have a trellis attached, but the vine broke it. Since the other pix are unsatisfactory, I've (again) decided to post a photo I took with the V1--a product of another, similar, session of experiments in backyard photography, taken later the same day. ========== This photograph is an outtake (well, really just another April 22 photo) from my 2012 photo-a-day project, 366 Snaps . Number of project photos taken: 11 Title of " roll :" Around the Yard Other photos taken on 4/22/2012: 41 more "Around the Yard" pix, these taken with the Nikon 1 V1.
