a taste of the tropics



You wouldn't think this picture was taken at my second job, would you? I may have mentioned that I'm working seven days a week now; my second job is also dog-related, being at the boarding kennel of an animal hospital.

I am not, luckily, responsible for the care of the plants in the two-story greenhouse, since I have no gardening experience in the tropics.






I pass through it many times a day, though, on my way from one part of the building to another. This orange tree is on one route to the bathroom.


I'm sure I will enjoy it more and more as the days grow colder. Things are always in bloom.

  2. Love all the greenery! Looks like a most pleasant environment, and you got some great shots of it. Think I'll take a vicarious walk through it!

  3. As the year turns more wintry, the tropical warmth gets better and better. It's not exactly soothing, because it's surrounded by barking dogs a lot of the time, but the dogs enjoy it, too--some of the "suites" open onto the atrium instead of outdoors.

    There is always something new blooming, too. It's good that I can get fairly decent shots with my iPod camera, because I'm not about to expose the Real Camera to all the physical and chemical threats of a boarding kennel.
