Strolling through the park one day

Although it’s August, and not the merry, merry month of May. Couple of cool shots nonetheless. I think anyway.

 

This is the orange-est sunflower I’ve ever seen –

Then, against all odds,I almost walked into this tree –

 

Wrong tree

 

 

Then I found the fences. I like the way the filtered light was playing with them –

Maybe tomorrow it’ll rain and change the perspective again? Stay tuned…..

I am the King of the Jungle

Well, the top of the stairs anyway –

 

ROAR!

 

This is the ‘Great, you’re home, now let me outside’ roar.

Your wish is my command, cat.

Mission accomplished on the bright part.

As far as I’m concerned, the rain is welcome relief.

IR

Been on Injured Reserve the last few days. Hurt my neck in a (I am not making this up*) walking to the car accident. Headed out the door for work, walking to the car I managed to pinch a nerve or something in my neck. For a while there it looked as though we might have to amputate, but time (and ice cold Margaritas) healed me to about 80% as of today. So there’s my excuse for posting nothing for the last couple days. Like it or lump it.

We did a ton of garden stuff this past weekend, hurt neck and all. We’re trying to finish up what we started. Actually got to the planting stage. So off to the flower store we went. Unfiltered from our spree –

 

Buds Crazy leaves flower field flowers Lotsa flowers More flowers Pepper pink and yellow flower Young flower

 

 

Oh yeah, they’ve got turtles too. This one’s a bit shy –

Some of these I actually like enough to think about printing them. So that was a pretty good day. I learned that if you ever need subjects, the flower place has got you covered.

I’ll post the progress of the garden later, but yes, it looks fantastic.

 

 

 

 

 

* Thanks to Dave Barry, you’re a funny dude.
