Trent @trentialrain.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Early fall update on the juniper #bonsai project - did some pruning and minor branch adjustments this week. I know the heavy top branch is gonna have to go eventually but I love the flow of it currently. 181
Trent @trentialrain.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Almost killed all of my portulacaria afra development #bonsai this winter (whoops - not enough light and an aphid infestation). Thankfully they survived and recovered nicely this summer. They should be much happier with their setup this winter. Looking forward to more development next year! 060
Trent @trentialrain.bsky.social · 05/09/2026Nice timelapse! The first Detroit tornado in 29 years (an EF2) developed about 2 miles behind this camera, tracking southeast across the east side before crossing the Detroit River and Belle Isle and eventually into Windsor. Briefly produced winds of around 115 mph. Busy couple days at work. #miwx 000
