Storm Damage Routine Occurrence
Storms have damaged a lot of large trees on the Oasis in the past few years. This Cottonwood has gotten damaged previously by storms, but it seems like life is nearly over for it now after 60+mph winds. The trunk on this tree is around 12 feet in circumference.
Blue False Indigo
Blue False Indigo is a tough plant in my climate. This bush-like perennial is full of flowers.
Columbine Persistence
This Columbine plant was bought from Oikos Tree Crops and suppose to live for more years than other similar Columbine plants. So far I have gotten many years of enjoyment out of its flowers.
Nice Day Ending
Camouflage
A cat blends in nicely with the old beech leaves. Though I could spot him because of his white fur.
Winter Scene
It is only the start of December and it is already beginning to look like Christmas. So far we have escaped any large snow accumulations.
The Unusual Fall
Interesting leaves are falling to the ground. Ginkgo leaves have littered the ground, while a lone Purple-leaved Sycamore Maple leaf is on top of them.
Kiwi Falling Up
My Kiwi vine is starting to show yellow fall colors. This is the first year I have it crawling up something. In this case, I have started using cattle panels for these vines. This is the female cultivar known as Ananasnaya.
