Bob sent me this picture of a Bird of Paradise that he took last week near where he works. Don’t ya just love those colors?
Mother’s Day 2007
How can you make Mom happy on Mother’s Day? If it’s Verna, you go to the shooting range with her. JJ did just that. He came over and went to the range with us and we shot a bunch of .38 special, 9MM and both 12 and 20 gauge shotguns. It was a good outing and we all had fun. Click the photo for full-sized version.
Epiphyllum
When we went to the Cactus and Succulent Exhibition last month, we picked up a 3-inch cutting from an epiphyllum in a small plastic planter. We put it in the patio and this week it produced this beautiful ‘frühlingsgold’ flower. Frühlingsgold translates from German to ‘spring gold’ in English.
Village Mall
I snapped this panoramic shot of the Manhattan Village Mall on my way back from Fry’s this morning. Click on the image for full panoramic size.
The Lighthouse at Point Vicente
While this appears to be a sketch of the lighthouse at Point Vicente, it is actually a photo that has been processed to look like that. Verna took this picture out of the truck window as we passed the lighthouse on a windy day. I processed it with a freeware graphics program I use called Irfanview.
