I like Monday when the Mama does was. She lets me get under the warm towels when they come out of the dryer. Click to make me big.
Golden Barrel Cactus Flower
It’s almost summer and time for some of the barrel cactus flowers to start to open. This is the golden barrel cactus that I have in my rock and cactus garden on the west side of the property. We are still expecting more flowers from several barrel cacti that are here – some we planted and some were here when we came. Click on the image to enlarge.
Vigilant
Bay Bay and Cabela stand watch in their usual position on the top of the love seat. If anyone or anything is on the road out front, they will let us know. Fortunately, neither of them bark at birds other than the roadrunner that comes around once in a while. Click on the image to enlarge.
Orange Gerberas
We bought some Gerberas and Hydrangeas at the flower concession in the supermarket last week. Today, they are looking beautiful in the vase on the sofa table. Click on the image to enlarge.
Two Tall Palm Trees
Our California second home is currently undergoing some remodeling, so we had to stay in a hotel this time out to visit family and friends. The place we stayed in Torrance, CA, had some really tall palm trees in their landscape scheme. I took two images of the two palms next to our room and combined them into this vertical panoramic image. Click on the image to see in the image viewer.
Disguising Cellphone Towers
It sure is a good thing that the powers that be disguised this cellphone tower as a fake conifer tree so that it wouldn’t detract from the beautiful scenery at this location in San Bernardino, California along the side of Interstate 10. Look how much better the conifer makes the scenery look. </sarcasm>
