A bloom! A bloom!

The sunflowers apparently didn't get the memo about opening fractionally. Unless it does this at 6AM, and tough luck for you guys seeing it then, cause I will still be in bed. :P



Take a look at my blog to see the ladybug vs. aphid war unfold.

Sunflower diary, entry #2

So Mom says she grew these babies from seeds, and thanks to the hot Merced sun beating down on us, the biggest ones are now taller than me and could very well grow taller than my dad.

Yup, these have definitely grown since last time. See that shed in the background? I helped put that together, LOL, and used my freshman year scene shop experience to guide me. The most important lesson: if it doesn't fit, smash it in! Mwahaha....

Um...getting a bit too hard to photograph this one since it is still growing, so I turned to the shorter sunflowers by the fence...

This looks almost alien, LOL.

I can't wait until they start opening! w00t w00t!

And obviously, I have inherited Dad's old digicam. But I still dragged my old manual SLR to Yosemite so I could do things like take pictures out of the car window. Yay for no shutter delays. :D

Sunflower diary!

For the chameleon, since I know you like sunflowers. My mom planted three bunches of them in the backyard. I should have taken some when the sunflowers were small, but I was just so excited by seeing sunflower buds that I had to take pictures now.

So! We start sunflower diary! June 16, 2006!

These are up to my shoulder.

Sunflower bud! Yay!

Stay tuned!

Hello

This should come as no surprise to you all, but I've gone underground/off AIM again. As always, I am reachable via email: firstnamelastname@geemail dotcom. Or you can try my cell phone number. Those of you privileged enough to have it already do.

And yes, I should post this at my wp blog too as part of the transition, but I'm feeling lazy about setting it up on the laptop.

Go join in the World Cup mania, people!
