I just love it when the Mama and the Daddy throw my squeaky toys for me. The Mama throws my toy on the sofa and I try to catch it in mid-air. I will play hard for about five minutes and then I lay down for a nap.
The Mama threw the toy and the Daddy took this photo of me in mid-air jumping up to get the toy. Click on me and the toy to make us big.
Another Easter Lily cactus flower opened up overnight. I took this photo this morning before the one-day bloom wilted. Click on the image to enlarge.
This brightly colored flower grows on three shrubs in our courtyard. The shrub, red bird of paradise, a.k.a. pride of Barbados, will produce these pretty flowers all summer long. Come November, we will prune these back to just a foot or so while they go dormant until next spring when they will bounce back with twice as many flowers.
Anyone who has read our blog for a while will know that these flowers are my favorites. Click on the image to enlarge.
One of our neighbors who lives up the hill to the west of us asked us to keep an eye on her property while she is away in Montana. We took a walk up the road this morning to check her place out and while in the pool area, I snapped several images to merge into this composite panoramic image. You can see our little red house just to the right of center in the image. Just look at those beautiful mountains in the distance. Click on the image to enlarge.
Remember the old joke about “π R Square? Where Andy Griffith (or some other southern comedian) says “Pie are square? Hell, cornbread are square – pie are round!” Well, today we proved that pie are square!
