Practice Drill
Bear loves to go for a ride, even if it’s around the block. Every other weekend, or whenever we feel like it, we break out the “Bear Stair” and practice getting in and out of the SUV. We decided that she’s going to accompany us on our next vacation, so she needs to be used to the drill. For now, she thinks it’s a great adventure, but when she goes on vacation with us, it might just be routine and not a big deal. I shot this video today just before embarking on a thrilling ride around the block.
Bishop’s Blossoms
The Bishop’s Cap Cactus keeps on blooming late into the year. These are so pretty! I’m glad there were so many this year. Click on the image below to enlarge.
Last of the Cosmos
As late fall approaches, these are getting fewer in number, but no less beautiful. Click image for big.
Here’s Looking at You
Just outside of one of the local restaurants in our neighborhood, there are a couple of trees that seem to be watching as we wait for the signal to change. I don’t know what kind of trees these are, but the ‘eyes’ have it.
Pink Tulips
Last Friday, I picked up these tulips at the supermarket flower concession. They are holding up nicely in the vase this week and add some color to the table centerpiece.
