Insomnia Thread...

[The Hollyberry Lady]

I miss you guys too, Janan!


I do like to log on and show you guys my shots, Hope you enjoy them...





I've got more to load for the vacation thread that I took today...


Interesting seeds, Janan. You sound as bad as me, sneaking behind poles and trees to get shots of others, only you're getting seeds!


Hope everyone is having a gread Saturday.

Yes, I thought so too. It is an old tree and that is just one tree, not a cluster. Here is a little one close to it that may or may not be the same kind. The leaves or fronds look similar, but you can't see a trunk on the old one.



Does it look like a little palmetto? I don't know much about palms at all. It is hardy here. There are a lot of dead palms around here after this last winter, but you can see this one looks really thick and lush.

Sherry thats a beautiful beach picture. Janan I don't know much about palms either I just know windmill and pygmy date palms lol. They both do look similar, but the smaller one does look like a palmetto, though I'm far from an expert lol. I think there is a palmetto native to Texas so maybe thats it. I have seen quite a few large windmill palms dead around here. That one week in February with record cold did most of them in. I had one years ago but it died

Yes, a knockout picture! I love the beach and I haven't been all summer this year. I usually go at least a couple of times every summer.

I got some of these too Cam. Enough to share of these. They are Burr Oak if you would like some. The leaves are huge and they are suppose to be the largest acorns on any oak. Though I seem to remember Olaf posting some somewhere that were huge, he picked up overseas somewhere. I can't remember what thread though.

I've never been to the beach, but I would love to go, though I would probably stay out of the water. Wow those Burr oak acorns are huge! I would love to grow one but I've never had luck growing acorns. Seems like those grow at the park, but I'm not sure

[Jananas Bananas]

I watched a couple of You tubes on how to get them to sprout. The guy put a whole bunch of them in a large pot then was going to transplant them when they came up. He said there was no reason to put one acorn in it's own pot when you can sprout a bunch. I thought it made sense so that's how I am going to try it.

These were just on the ground around the tree. I picked up every one I could find. I just thought that tree with those huge leaves was beautiful!

[Willow87]

wow i didn't know you could grow several in a pot. i may try that because i love plants with big leaves. do they need cold stratification?

I found someone's cellphone a few days ago, underneath a park bench. I returned it to them and they were so happy.


I was just goofing around in photobucket manipulating some shots. Hope everyone sleeps well.


: )

[Willow87]

That's good of you to do Sherry =) Thanks so much for the videos Janan. I'll follow those because I've never been successful growing acorns

[Jananas Bananas]

Your very welcome Cam!

Sherry how in the world did you find the people that the phone belonged to? That must have taken some detective work on your part. Very cool!

Happy Sunday everyone!

Hi everyone

Just had another migraine in the last couple days, so I didn't get any post in

Set up my new computer desk, got a new monitor for the computer I built, and got the best PCI video card for it that I could find. I have a bunch of computers hooked up now and hopefully will be able to get a couple more power strips to plug them all into.

Very nice pictures and videos

Hope everyone is having a nice day

[Willow87]

Good morning everyone. I hope everyone is having a great Sunday. I'm sorry to hear that you have another migraine Jordan, maybe its the weather? I woke up with a cold and headache this morning

Hi Trina, how have you been? Your Ensete looks so healthy

[The Hollyberry Lady]

Hi Trina...and gang!


I found the cellphone owner by texting one of their contacts and they got in touch with the owner. He was just so happy and relieved...and couldn't believe someone would return it. I was just happy to get it back to the rightful owner.


So I've been having some fun today, manipulating some of my pictures and doing fun things with them. Here are some samples...











It's kinda fun changing your best shots around and seeing different looks to them.


Hope everyone's having a good Tuesday so far. Miss you guys. A lot going on here.

Hi everyone!

I really, really like the Port Stanley poster or card. You should be able to sell that one to them to use!

Getting ready to hit the hay after a day running errands. I'm a pooped pup!
