This is an old gnarly tree along the riverbank in my little Mohawk Park. It's a lovely little spot, so serene and peaceful. It's the kind of place that I could easily sit and read, or just let my mind wander.

Wow...10 days since I posted last. Well, it's been kind of busy here. I always say that things will calm down soon but they never do. I will try to catch up with everyone in a few days.

Rob will be home very soon, exactly when? I still don't know. I have a link to the incoming flights and the welcome ceremonies. There are now 5 listed in the next 10 days or so and more are added regularly, but I don't have a clue which one is Rob's. They said they would let me know as soon as they could. I'm really hoping I can be there when he steps off that plane in Georgia!

This is the last in the ice storm series...I think. I have more but I don't want to get too boring with them. I hope you enjoyed the series. As I mentioned before I am horticulturally challenged so I have no idea what kind of berries these are. If anyone knows feel free to set me straight.

This is the second photo in the ice storm series which was also shot in Mohawk Park on Friday after the ice storm. This is a more isolated view of the same kind of berries as the previous photo.

Thanks to Kathleen, I now know that this is called Multiflora Rose (Rosa multiflora Thunb.ex Murr.) Actually I know a lot about it now because she is a master when it comes to this stuff and left a wonderful detailed description and history in the comments on the previous post. Thanks Kathleen!

"Tis' The Season"

previous / next

This was shot on Friday in Mohawk Park the day after we had a nasty ice storm. I have a series of photos of ice storm shots featuring different berries covered in ice that I will be posting in the coming days. I am horticulturally challenged so I have no idea what kinds of berries they are so if anyone can tell me I would appreciate it.

I want to thank everyone for all the well wishes on Rob's welcome home post. It really means a lot to him and to us. It is just so good to have him home. I have been and intend to continue to spoil him rotten while he is here.

His first order of business when he got home was to kiss the Missy (his cat) and take a real shower. I am happy to report that he is quite well and hasn't seemed to have changed a bit. It took him all of about 30 seconds to settle in and pick up where he left off. He is tormenting his brothers once again, all in good fun. He's taken over my office and set up both of his computers next to mine on my desk...I'm not so sure about that one! Good thing I have a big desk!

I hope everyone has a great weekend. It promises to be a busy one for us since we are also celebrating Jon's Confirmation this Sunday and having lots of family and friends here to join us in our multi-faceted celebration.
