Two weeks in Hawai'i
In the middle of June we spent about two weeks in Hawai'i, showing the kid off to her bubbe and zeyde (who she decided to call "bubs" and "zeyds"), seeing friends, and spending a lot of time swimming and walking.
Oh, and eating. Did I mention the eating?
I'm not actually sure how long the photos from our trip are going to run, because I'm not finished editing, but I thought I'd start off with my old friend Monstera here. We'll see where this all goes.
THIS SHALL NOT STAND
Yes, I did shamelessly use my child as a prop.

Their small hands are useful for detail work?

Can I help whoever's next?
String
Why string? Because I had some.

How come you are doing the project I have been trying (unsuccessfully) to do?

One word ....
TAUNTING

About a month ago, while Miz Becky and The Kid were planting pots on the deck, I was obsessing about form and texture in the beautiful glow that is a Seattle summer evening.

See, that would almost fit within the 140-character limit. You're already a Twitterer, you just didn't know it!

I don't know why, but I love the white railings in this photo.

An army of slinkies marching down the steps.
Unfurling
And that brings us to the end of the pictures from the conservatory.
What's coming tomorrow? Who knows?

Yay for ferns! And for the chance to use the word curlicue.
I believe The Fern is an inspiring plant, but Wikipedia is less impressed. It offers the following.
"One problem with fern classification is the problem of cryptic species. Cryptic species are those which are morphologically similar to another species, but which differ genetically in ways that prevent fertile interbreeding."
I had to stop reading, for fear of learning other tragic fern problems. Millions of ferns are prevented from fertile interbreeding. Won't you please help?

Ooooh.... pretty! reminds me of going to pick fiddleheads in the swamp with my dad at the farm we lived in when I was 4.

cryptic species makes my head hurt.
but I do love how the curlicues become out of focus.

how did I miss this one? this is magical (I particularly like the dreamy out of focus regions towards the bottom).
