My little camera phone can’t, of course, hold a light to you pro and semi-pro photographers and your fancy equipment. But I wanted to share some beauty anyway!
This past weekend I took a peaceful walk in the woods not too far from my house. The goal was just to get outside with my dog, but I hoped I’d see some dry-land fish (I didn’t, probably too early). I did pick a bag of watercress- boy is that stuff good!!! Tastes like a cross between lettuce and radishes. But boy was it nice being out there in the woods!
One happy dog!

My Brittany, who wishes I’d take her in the woods and waters more often!
And while I’m at it, I want to throw in a couple of my tree photos I took the same day!
Red Delicious:
Both of these are twins (bought at same time and place and planted together 7 years ago) Montmorency Cherry Trees:
Here are some plums taken about 2-3 weeks before these other pics. The blooms were so nice on these!
Toka Plum (blooms are sort of an off-white, not a pure white) Age:7 years
Black Tartarian Sweet Cherry (Age, 7 years)
Finally, this is the absolute worst knife work EVER and I made a huge mess of the root-stock, yet my first time to ever try bud grafting seems to have worked. This sad little bud and the over-trimmed scion I attached it too last fall made it through winter and are now swelling and the bud is about to sprout! It is a Saijo Persimmon bud on a wild Diospyros virginiana base
