This is the Fisher Street Reserve (corner Townsend Road), looking west.
We walked here to take this photograph yesterday but then walked on without taking the photograph until it wasn’t worth returning 🙄

Attempted photographs of Bugs with the earth’s moon. It demonstrates the depth of field challenges with the camera, plus the scale of the moon that our minds always perceives as larger than it is.

This Curly Spider Plant was purchased on the 24Feb26 at the same time as the Peace Lily, the roots were soaked a few days to remove the soil, then it was tried in another container but didn’t really suit that, so now moved to this jar temporarily.
Despite the donut vases being a good solution for the hydroponic plants, 3 new containers with a low centre of gravity have been purchased and the Peace Lily, Syngonium and this Curly Spider Plant will be transferred – keep a look out for about a week’s time!

YTDNot sure why the digital rain guage registered on the 20th and 21st of February, definately no clouds about, maybe perched birds shook sensors?
The takeover of Bugs’ parent company Warner Bros was decided today with the outcome going in Paramount’s favour. Given Paramount has gone heavily into debt to secure the deal (which has already had it’s credit rating down graded to ‘junk bond’ status), let’s see how long (years wise) before the company is broken up (if it does finalise). Bugs would have preferred to be part of Netflix.
