… flowers are fun and looking into the depths of them is a passion of mine … you are transported into a very special world where beauty is without limit and so are the universes you can create whilst drawn into these micro worlds of attraction. The Iris in the top photo was one of a very few I kept as most of them had the upper petals sagging under the weight of the rain drops … this bloom was kinda sheltered … the azaleas below were not sheltered, but nevertheless had only minor bending of the petals. In going…

Relatively simple projects — sometimes termed passive rainwater harvesting — can often be set up by individual homeowners, or by a neighborhood, or by parking lot owners or other property owners. Together, these collective efforts are…
