Fallen leaves. 🍁🍂

Another picture from our NZ house: me mowing the front lawn for the first time, in 1998. Plus a bonus pic of bringing a tree home, sticking out the sunroof of our car, from 1999. #ThrowbackThursday


Some more low-res pictures from our NZ house: landscaping in 1998 and 1999. #ThrowbackThursday







The first day of fall (autumnal equinox) is officially in a week, but some trees are already doing their thing. So I put my homemade netting cover over the small pond, to stop it filling up with leaves. 🍂

For day 9 of @macgenie’s photo challenge, the persistence of weeds growing in any crack in the driveway. Spray them or pull them, they keep coming back.

In 1995, while renting our second flat in NZ, the owners let us put in a little garden. And so began our decades of gardening projects. #dejus365 #ThrowbackThursday

Another view of the backyard stream, and one of its stone bridges. #dejus365

Part of the artificial stream in our back yard. #dejus365

A small crumbling figure hidden amongst the trees and rocks by the pond. #dejus365
