Espalier Fruit Trees

Trees in Bondage
"the secret of secret gardens at craidelonna"

three hidden espalier fruit trees
are tucked tight against the heated wall
here the nectarine, peach, and almond all have fruit this season
pruned to now shape tight against the wall
the pampered trees existing ocean front

spring gardens

the gardens begin bursting into clusters of spring blooms the lupins are leaping and the snow bells are a carpet of white... the lilac's sprout their beautiful fragrance..

First Wedding 2011

Silly Seals

these seals lounge on a warmed rock

on a low tide after noon

they seemed mildly interest as i walk past

TENTS

the addition of three rental tents

for the property

now bring a breath of relief

on those rainy event days

Full Moon lowtide

tonight's full moon
often comes low low tides
a wonderful day to walk on the sandy beach.

check out the moon phases for you visit to craidelonna
both full moon nights with the brilliant moon
or new moon nights with no moon but lots of stars
are magical...
with limited light pollution
take time to admire the night skies from craidelonna vantage points and comforts
