This year was the first time we put a waterlily in our pond. It's doing well, and we actually got a bloom.]]> Paul Braun photo Thu, 13 Aug 2015 12:10:47 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17868 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17868

This plant came up early this Spring in our vegetable/herb planter box. It doesn't look familiar from last yet, but it's full of pretty pink flowers, so we're letting it grow.]]> Paul Braun photo Thu, 28 May 2015 10:45:13 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17371 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17371
Trying a new plant in the pond this year - a Mexican Petunia or, more specifically, Ruellia brittoniana. It's a marginal, which means it doesn't sit completely submerged like a lily, but on a shelf on the edge. In the wild, it likes moist or marshy soil. Certain varieties are very aggressive and invasive, but this one is being sold legally by a local garden center, so this is one of the varieties engineered to be tamer. It is supposed to have these pink flowers all through the summer, which will add a nice splash of color to our little wildlife sanctuary.]]> Paul Braun photo Thu, 28 May 2015 10:45:13 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17364 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=17364
First water hyacinth bloom of the year. The plant has only been in the pond a week, so apparently it found the nutrients it needed in the water.]]> Paul Braun photo Wed, 27 May 2015 09:26:35 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16816 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16816
Came into work this morning through fog so heavy my car was practically swimming. This is the West side of our hospital - much further back and you couldn't see it.]]> Paul Braun photo Wed, 01 Apr 2015 15:22:28 -0500 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16813 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16813

Snowfall and ice at sunset.]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 17 Feb 2015 12:31:10 -0600 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16272 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16272
The trees still had some snow stuck to them after the first really serious snow of the season.]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 17 Feb 2015 12:31:10 -0600 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16143 http://zone-10.com/tope2/main.php?g2_itemId=16143
The upper part of my amateur radio antenna. For those technically inclined, it's a Hustler 4BTV trapped vertical for 40/20/15/10m, with parallel wire verticals added on for 12/17m. So far, I've been working the world with it, so I'm quite happy.]]> Paul Braun photo Tue, 17 Feb 2015 12:31:10 -0600
