Hats off to everyone posting in this thread - I love seeing your pics....please keep 'em coming!

Here's one from today - new parking lot landscaping....it's only day 3 on the project. Monday we planted 27 trees...7 of which were these beautiful 30 gal. 'Tuscarora' Crape Myrtles....

Baz, I don't see any sprinklers or drip irrigation. Are seasonal rains and humidity in NSB enough to keep everything alive and growing?

Good eye, Craig....but I got it covered.

The pic I posted was just after planting - but before I installed drip irrigation for the entire length plus the other side of the lot. Here's a shot of the 2 valves which will serve this area. One for drip zone for the plants...the other for spray zone (15' half circles) for the right-of-way - that's what the white flags are for. I'll probably put the spray zone in on Friday. I also put in a hose bib since it's so far away from the building's hose bibs...and the other thing in the pic is the drip tubing stub out. :)

After we got the trees installed I had to hand water them as needed until I got all the irrigation in...and i made a point to stand under each tree's shade as much as possible...man it was cooking out!

My Son and I shot at least 400 images trying to catch a Perseid Meteor in flight... crazy how many we saw either just after the shutter closed using 30 second exposures, or in a different portion of the sky than we were focused on.
I caught just one pretty poor image.
Ah well, next year!

One little Perseid
 

Lower right hand corner streak, astronomers say most Perseids are the size of a grain of sand... mind boggling when you see how much light they emit!
