So this weekend we decided to plant some new bushes and flowers and trees in our newly landscaped areas in the backyard. 23 in all and lots of holes to dig and lots of dirt to move it was pretty crazy. Showed up at the plant place with pictures of what we had to work with and then talked with a plant designer for about an hour figuring out what to put where and what would work good with the exposure it receives and worrying about things like acidity levels under the trees and what would grow. She was amazing helpful as we are sort of plant retarded! Also we put in a soak line in the front so you just turn that on to water all the flowers.
Everything is in place as you can see below. If you click on the images, on the bottom it will tell you the name of the plant. Figured this was the easiest way to remember what we planted since I never remember that stuff. Chances are we will fill in some gaps with other flowers and whatnot but this was a good start.

This is a really cool website, it looks like most of these pictures take place in Russia as there are a lot of pictures from Chernobyl. There are also a bunch of pictures from nuclear test sites from the islands that the US was testing on which are really cool. Then there are a bunch of shipyard pictures too.
This one has been sitting in my backlog for a while to be added to my blogs. Here are a whole bunch of High Definition pictures of the Large Hadron Collider which is now called the Halo Project. This project is on hold until April as they melted a few magnets during their first round of testing.
