Picture This!!

There is a thread on computer glitches, problems etc and even though it has been inactive in a while, you might get it restarted re: use of elements.

Sally is AussieCat's twin sister who lost her battle with breast cancer. Our condolences to Cathy and her family.

today

We had some of those Matilla poppies in our yard. They were about 3-4 feet tall and just gorgeous. Someone whacked away at them and cut about half. All we could think of was someone thought they were opium poppies. They clearly had not just picked them to take inside. They don't look a thing like opium poppies, anyway.

Lisa, nice capture with the bee and that pretty flower.

Joanne, that is a beautiful flower. My Mom had one for years that was a start from her Mom I think. I don't think she ever took it outside. Obviously yours is doing quite well. That is a neat pot. My sister has one and it usually blooms well before Christmas. Looks like you will have quite a display soon.

Joanne, we must be thinking the same. I was going to put a subtitle peek a boo. I talked to a worker at this nature center and he said there having only been three hummingbirds there which for May is really unusual. We have had bad thunderstorms for days and that might be part of the problem. Can't wait to get home and get my own hummer feeders up. I know one has returned as it hovered and looked inside my patio door and was probably not happy to see a thistle feeder in place of the hummer feeder. I hope it found something before I return home.

Band...love your image with the wind sweeping the feathers, the rough surf and the diverse textures.  

Thanks Magic.

Thanks Cathy. How are you doing? Your family? You continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Cathy, you have so much to deal with and I am saddened to hear that your older sister doesn't know the news yet. I pray that you will have the strength to cope with the funeral, with your older sister and all of the guests. Everyone copes with grief in their own way and I know you will be glad when you can have your own personal space to grief. Hugs to you, my friend.

To honor our heroes on Memorial Day

Hey Scottie. I have wondered what you are up to. Miss seeing your pics. Hope you get some good ones on your trip. I know you have had lots going on and looks like you had some major surgery recently. Hope your upcoming surgery goes well so you can get back with your camera. Thanks for the nice compliment.

Nancy

those succulents are beautiful! do they grow wild like that or do you plant them?

Lillies of the Nile are blooming

Thanks, I just loved the color of the rose. It's coffee colored at first then changes to pink.
