the quince tree and other garden merriments...

A glorious day. There were all sorts of sightings but none would be complete without the bee that insisted on posing.  Wait until you see all of the other things I came across (to be posted soon).

One of the first things I do when I get to the garden is climb the path to the quince tree.  This odd shaped quince tree was rescued a year ago from the sale pile at The Urban Tree Farm in Santa Rosa.  It's odd shape is exactly why I loved it.  It took a beating in the back of the pickup...Santa Rosa to Oakland to L.A.  It is thriving now...I hug it every time I see it.  It has two special quince that hopefully I'll get to taste before the squirrels or birds do.  Here is one of my beauties....
