Salmons and pinks
Good things about July
July is not my favorite month, mostly because of the heat. Still, there are plenty of good things that happen during July: Independence Day, family birthdays, anniversaries — and of course the Tour de France. And no Tour can be really complete until I see the peloton riding through a field of sunflowers: Since that video doesn’t really do justice […]
Sun flowers
Helianthus annuus (common sunflower) and Madia elegans (common madia).
Little sword
Gladiolus is sometimes called the ‘sword lily’, but is usually called by its generic name (plural gladioli).
Colors in bloom
I see an awful lot of gorgeous flowers in bloom as I walk through my neighborhood. Sometimes it’s difficult to photograph them properly as I hurry by, especially on a bright, sunny day. These blooms certainly love the sunshine!
Street security
Nothing gets by this team; we’ve got all the angles covered and we’re always alert for any sign of trouble. We always have an expert agent covering ground level… … and another expert with a bird’s eye view. You can always feel safe when we’re on the job!
Green twist
Calico morning
I know I’ll see at least a couple of cats out and about if I go walking in the mornings. Some of them want nothing to do with me; a few are more than happy to let me pet them. And then there are those who condescend to pose for a brief photo shoot, like this gorgeous calico. But they won’t hesitate to let you know when your time is up!
