Gone Feral In Idaho

 This is a great example about camera lens quality. The photos above were taken with my wide angle lens. It's a third party lens and does the job for large subjects, but the focus isn't the best.  The photos below were taken with my Nikon 50mm fixed focal length lens. It was a cheap lens, only about $150, but is takes great photos. The little closeups show the fun detail of the plants that you can't see in the first photos.

I spent the better part of today playing concrete block tetris. My arms and abs are getting a great workout. I always thought that gardening counting toward real exercise wasn't possible. Boy was I wrong. All I need is to construction adhesive landscape fabric to the bottoms of the holes and plant it up. There are 12 open spaces yet that I can add to. Cool  thing is most of these are perennials.
