I know, I promised to introduce my friend, David. No, David is not a bush. But I just got involved in working on the new media program for Aug 3, and didn't get the right pictures scanned for this post. Then we had a little panic with getting an audio file converted to a format that another friend can work with to do some tweaks for me, and the phone kept ringing, and... you can see how my day went. But I got a lot done, just not the pix of David.
Anyway, this is just a lonely, stressed blueberry bush growing on top of a sand dune at the spot where Marie and I ate our last Lake Superior lunch on the Marquette hike. I like it, that's all... so I thought I'd share it.
Have a great day! Supposed to be even hotter and more humid here. We have fans running everywhere.
I have to agree, that blueberry bush does look a bit lonely all by itself. Did it really bear blueberries? Sand doesn't seem the right medium for growing blueberries, really.
ReplyDeleteSo David is a stressed blueberry bush... :)
ReplyDeleteIt looks much healthier than my blueberry bush! :-)
ReplyDeleteI thought David is George Bush.
ReplyDeleteLife is amazing. See how it thrives in a hostile environment. Perhaps a lesson for folks like us?
ReplyDeletei always love pictures like this, how life continue to thrive despite the harsh environment, it's picture perfect.
ReplyDeleteThat is a very pretty bush! :) I so don't like humidity. bleh. I prefer our dry desert heat. :)
ReplyDeleteIt certainly is a great lesson!
ReplyDeleteIt is a nice little bush. I have those kinds of days all the time. If I only had just a few more hours in a day :)
ReplyDeleteDon't we all have days like that. The blueberry bush sure looks funny there in the sand. I bet it doesn't stay there long. Now if that bush isn't David, then we can't wait to meet David
ReplyDeleteHave a great evening.
That blueberry bush is very lovely growing out of the sand like that! It does look like the perfect spot for a picnic!
ReplyDeleteCarmen- I don't recall that this bush had any blossoms (too early for the fruit).
ReplyDeleteVanilla- well, some days he is quite stressed!
John- Wow, you must have a very sad bush!
rainfield- haha. I forgot to ask this bush what it's first name is.
Chuck- it WAS very hostile. This is at the top of a dune, right out in the full force of the wind. And yet it hung on.
betchai- yes, just a few feet farther inland and it would have been green and flowering. Instead it stood out on the edge of nowhere, and got its picture taken.
Cynthia- well, I like the greenness here, but the humidity is hard to take
dawn- I only thought of the pretty picture, but there is a lesson, isn't there?
Ann- I try to not have those days, but it doesn't always work
Marg- blueberry bushes like to grow in sand, but usually not so unprotected out in the wind
Beaded Tail- It was a lovely spot on top of a dune, and this was our table decoration
This brings back memories of blueberry bushes we had growing along our fence at one place I lived when I was a kid. People from all over the neighborhood would come over to pick blueberries. There were always enough on those bushes.
