Childhood Revisited
Entry No. 104
 |
When I was a little girl I was obsessed with snail shells. Today as I was gardening I found this huge one. I must say, even though I hate what their inhabitants do to my plants, they still are pretty cool. |

These two can hang out for hours at a time without fussing, fighting, or even arguing. They have always held it each other in the highest regard. We should all have a friend like that. |

Unexpected Pleasure
Entry No. 101
I had planned to make a big deal out of my 100th entry, but life had other plans yesterday and I was doing well to even post. Today, however, as I was going to finally take a few quick shots of a front yard near my house that I have admired many times, fate intervened. One of the owners, Grant, came out and generously invited me to see the back yard as well. What a treat. It has taken he and his husband, Mike, 10 years to create a gorgeous oasis in what was once an mess of brambles. Enjoy.
This fountain used to be an incinerator.
This is a pitcher plant in bloom, they aren't supposed to grow outside...
This is Grant, Mike was camera-shy.

Oh, and by the way, it's for sale. |

Not Exactly My Mamma's Fruit Salad
Entry No. 84
 |
I've gotten a little burned out on apples and oranges, so I decided to mix things up a bit. Thanks to our awesome grocery stores here in Oakland I was able to add Pineapple, Cherimoya, (custardy food of the gods), Mango, and Dragon Fruit, to the usual Banana, Strawberry, Cherry combo. And, yes, it's as good as it looks. |
