Black & White Camouflage

Uncle Aubrey and his new bride Joy (see August's blog) moved into a new 2 bedroom apartment last week. One of the things that had to go was a rickety old metal table that was a bit beat up. It had black legs with white shelves.

I tightened up the bolts so it was sturdy and then put several coats of black spray paint on it. (I should have taken a before photo)

Then a touch of a silver marble spray paint to give it the marbling effect.

When I first printed the photos, I thought I had forgotten to set the printer to print in colour. Only when I looked closer, did I see the one green plant, and the green plants showing at the top edge. In our black and white kitchen, the table will be nicely camouflaged.

Portulacaria Bonsai

My twenty year old bonsai is looking a little sad. I had it outside for the summer where it got full sunlight. It has been indoors for about 8 weeks now. Most of the old leaves fell off. The bonsai looks a little naked, now that those "summertime" leaves have come off.
However, as they say "Don't get your panties in a knot!" Because the portulacaria is sprouting a whole new set of "wintertime-indoor" leaves. It is shedding its nude look for a greener, lusher covering.
