Dog-walking sky today. Villa Argentina.
Blue and white
Horneros tending to their mud nest
Casuarinas
Casuarinas are visually unimpressive trees used here for windbreaks. They look as though they should be like pine trees but, unlike pines, they will regrow if cut. However, only if not below a certain height….
The not-so-bright lizard
This short sequence gives me an idea as to why this particular lizard is missing half its tail. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.
My other lizard encounters:
Bee at work
Trees drying – drought
Evidence of the drought in Uruguay showing up in trees I see from our upstairs patio.

The dog who has to dig. She’s very good at it—excavates in two stages.
Tree transplants
A little scrap of a shrub I dug up in the back yard and planted in the front several years ago has grown like crazy. I was thinking of cutting it back until it burst out in white flowers…
…which makes the bees very happy.
This year I found and transplanted another (foreground; previous in the background). We should have quite an entrance way in a few years!
After the fire, life returns
Not long after fire took out undergrowth and blacked the ground, and even with very little rain, green is returning. Wonderful to witness.
Off into the trees
