2018 Christmas Walkabout

My semi-annual morning walkabout:

Daffodils starting to grow at the house:


Looking towards the sunrise:


The Seasonal tank is full:


Old Pump head:


The local utility company was in cutting trees away from the power line all summer:




You can see they cut away quite a bit:


Back up the lower field:


Overgrowth on the road:


On the road:


A new discovery:  these little white berries.  They look a great deal like popcorn.  I have never seen them before.

    I don't know where you are but Stephen Pentz of "First Known When Lost" is in Washington state and calls them Snowberry bushes. Have a joyous holiday. Julia

  2. Looks very relaxing, great place for a walk. I think those plants are called snowberries.

    Hope you had a Merry Christmas,wish all the best for next year.

  3. Ask your local ag extension. Show them the pictures. If you pick them, wear gloves. I believe they're poison ivy berries.

    Love all your trees!

    A blessed New Year to you all!

  4. Thank you Julia! I have never heard of Snowberry bushes before but will give them a look.

    We are in Northern California.

  5. Thanks for stopping by Jeff. Yes, compared to the urban cacophony I am usually subjected to it is very peaceful indeed.

  6. Linda, we are fortunate in that we have an abundance of trees here.

    Not sure about poison ivy - we are a little too north and west for it, I think. We do have poison oak in abundance though.

    Happy New Year to you as well!
