These two nice red Gerbera daisies are growing in the cactus pot way way out in the back yard. I didn’t know they were blooming until today!

The Birds
We indulge the small sparrows and finches that live in the area by providing feeders and birdbaths. Here, a couple are taking a drink while others are waiting their turn. Photo taken last weekend while we were sitting on the patio swing.
Big Name – Tiny Flowers
Argyranthemum Red is an awfully big name for these tiny flowers. Measuring only ¾ inches (2cm) wide, these little guys add a lot of color to the garden in spring and summer. I took this photo over the weekend.
Lily of the Valley
One of my favorites is this beautiful lily of the valley. The little bell-shaped flowers appear each early spring. Click the picture for the large view.
Classic Ride
When we got to the target range today, we saw this 1932 Ford parked in front. My folks had one of these a long time ago when I lived in Long Beach, California. Dad hated it – he was always a GM man.
Botanic Garden
Spring has sprung in California! We paid the South Coast Botanic Garden a visit yesterday. I got this shot of a bed of poppies along with a beautiful tree and it’s pink blossoms.
