Planted a cherry tree last week and yesterday the first flowers started to blossom.
Will be interesting to see if the fruit will be edible so far north 🙂

Planting stuff that you can eat is so rewarding!

Macro photo of hermit crab and barnacle
Taken with Olympus E500 digital camera on May 18th, 2007. Click image for larger view.

Close up shot of a common hermit crab (Pagurus pubescens).

These critters are so funny to observe. Each have their own personality. Some are really brave and fights everyone and some hide in their shell at the smallest sign of danger.
When I was a kid I used to drop empty shells among a bunch of hermit crabs. They would always check out the shell and if they liked it, they changed shells.
If a bigger hermit crab likes the shell that another crab has, it will force it out to get better housing!
