“Is it 4:30 yet?”

Yes, indeed; 4:33, as a matter of fact! Time to go home. But wait, you are home! (Actually, time to go to the gym for an easy workout; a week away takes an immediate and substantial toll!)

Not much time to spend in the greenhouse or in the garden today. I took a couple shots of flowers on this vine near the greenhouse ceiling, but thought that these flowers — at the “end of the line” — hanging on what remains of what was once a door, was far more interesting. I have taken several photos of beaten-up doors in the greenhouses and one will no doubt get posted eventually.

Unknown flower. Dan?
Allamanda cathartica or “Golden Trumpet.”

You should be about ready to start rowing again, right?

@digitalrn Lake level is up after last summer's drought and I've been ready-to-row all semester/year. The weather has been largely uncooperative this year (too cold; too windy; too cold-and-windy). Hoping it's a good summer for rowing! (But I still don't have a point-and-shoot to take on the water. :-\

@jesperani Thanks, Jennifer. The composition here — I hope — reflects some growth as a photographer since I started this endeavor 877 photos-and-days ago!
