My new postcard for 2012.

Commons Park, Denver

A good hike in Denver: walk over the 1-25 pedestrian bridge into the Platte River Valley.  You can walk along the Platte River through Commons Park or take the bridge over the train tracks into the Balpark Neighborhood.

Rust never sleeps, neither does algae.

 A little warm weather can spur the growth of algae, even in winter.  January 16 and the algae is nice and green in my upper pond.

Elkhorn River, Neligh Nebraska

The river that runs past my hometown.  It can be placid or raging.  The natural beauty of Nebraska inspires my landscape designs.

Winter pruning

Here are examples of improper shrub pruning.  The multi-stem shrubs have been raggedly hacked off.  The proper method is to remove one third of the largest or dead stems at ground level per year as needed.
