Bulb Planting 2021

This past Wednesday was unseasonably warm for November which was a perfect time to plant tulip bulbs. Nearly every November for a number of years (and often under nasty weather situations),  Juan V has planted an array of tulip bulbs in my garden (a partial view of it can be seen in the image atop this entry).

In any event over the years the bulbs he has planted have produced extraordinary and unusual tulips, many of which are included in volume one of my book series, Words In Our Beak as well as in posts within this blog.

On occasion, once my tulips have had a blooming period, certain varieties have come back the following year or even years; but for the most part, in spite of them growing in awesome containers, filled with rich soil, they have a short duration in my place.

We were not able to plant bulbs in 2019, and then, because of the long lasting lockdowns in 2020 due to consequences of the coronavirus pandemic; nothing was planted.

Therefore, this year's bulb planting was quite special. The bulbs we chose  — if all goes well — will produce tulips at different times so the activity in my garden should be on going.

You might NEVER have an understanding of life's secret! (Tuesday's Truths WK 228)

Have you ever walked along the shoreline and felt as if you were really approaching an understanding of life’s secret, when suddenly you spot shorebirds using their long orange beaks to search for food and are immediately humbled into an understanding that you might never know life’s secret?

This question is posed in IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS, my newest book which is available in Apple's Bookstore.

On another note, the bird type I'm referring to and who can be seen in the photo directly above is an American oystercatcher and is featured in volume three of my hardcover book series, Words In Our Beak, which is available on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Tidbits re Turtles

Have you ever taken a walk in the park and been so lost in your thoughts about the lack of compassion in our world that you nearly miss seeing that a turtle has crawled up on top of a rock to catch some rays?

This question is posed in IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS, my newest book which is available in Apple's Bookstore.

On another note, turtles's shells are the inspiration for my kaleidoscopic photographic print titled Turtle Pond, which is pictured below...

AVAILABLE ON FINE ART AMERICA

... and is available in many sizes through Fine Art America (or FAA) who have the ability to print wall art on an array of surfaces (including wood, canvas, acrylic, metal and more).

FAA can also print this photo on to an array of items/products for the household and/or for personal use. Visit my kaliedoscopic collection within FAA and click on the category in the side bar at the left of a product that interests you to get specific information.

Sunday's Sentiment (11-7-2021 Q.O.T.D.

 "Have you ever found yourself spending time in a garden but so preoccupied with your own worries and your ongoing concerns for those you love; that you almost miss noticing a bird watching you?" 

This question is posed in IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS, my newest book which is available in Apple's Bookstore.

"IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS" is now available!

My new book, IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS is now available in Apple's Bookstore. 

I first made an annoucement about it on October 1, 2021, then published a follow up re this endeavor on October 30 2021, and, as of yesterday, the book is live!

This book with a light hearted tone and stunning photography, takes nature lovers of all ages on a delightful journey and includes photos which capture the detail and awesome wonder of various birds; assorted insects; a reptile; a fish; and an array of flowers as well as foliage; all found within New York. 

The narrative provides insights regarding nuances found in these aspects of Mother Nature. Read IT’S THE LITTLE THINGS and add a bit of joy to your day.
