here are three photos from the very beginning of july, such a very long time ago, it feels like.

les, always stalking something down by the water.

this is a beautiful new tiny tree i bought on impulse.  it’s called a Duranta, and i just read on wikipedia that although it is cultivated in some places and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, it’s classified as an environmental weed in australia, south africa and china.  it’s considered invasive in hawaii, fiji and french polynesia.

the flowers are so lovely!  it’s hard to imagine it being an environmental weed.

that is all for now.

ok then,

mrs. seeing the end of july not so far in the distance hughes.
