Mowing

Well, a nice packed down bare dirt yard with crushed rock accents is de rigueur here on Bonaire.
See my blog from Nov. 1. You can click the link and scroll down to the bottom of the page.

But we had a really long rainy season this past year and I got tired of hoeing the weeds. Pushing a mower is a LOT easier, so we bought a used mower the other day.

I had to try it out on what is left of the weeds in our back yard.
The mower buzzed the weeds down nicely, but raised a huge cloud of dust as well.


Sandra snapped a picture. It was getting dark and the flash lit up the dust particles, but didn't reach me. Kind of like driving in a snowstorm...... really. :)

Here is the original picture. You can probably download it and have a go at it with your favorite photo editor. It would be good practice, in case you ever take a one of a kind, but really dark, picture.


You can click on the pictures to see them bigger, heh-heh.
