I would take these any day for my bridal parade. Petunias, violas, lobelia, and more!

See its cloud antennae out in front on the right over the setting sun? Such a graceful, flowing wind creature.

Zoom central..

When I purchased this lovely after going back and forth in my head and to the store a couple of times, it was centered with its fronds going different directions.

Now that I have given it a new home, it seems to seek more rays of light and has moved it fronds to gaze wistfully out the window.

Is it happy here? For the stalks are not leaning. It needs the protection that I provide and is tall and straight as it watches, as if it is dreaming.

Perhaps, afterall, it is happy with the view.

Upside-down otherworldly creatures.

Zoom to see its feelers on its head facing down right.

Dragon scale plant!

I stopped by a store to return an item, and while waiting, I noticed someone had left this small package out of place on the line’s pole in deciding that they did not want it.

I had been desiring exactly this type of product, but had given up trying to look for it some time ago.

There it was before my very eyes, for my eyes, without my having to strain them or exert more effort!

Thunderheads were forming on the distant horizon. Zoom…

Farmers plant this as a rotation crop after grass seed to keep weeds at bay and rest the land. It is apparently also used in cosmetics, etc.

This second spider was more demur, liked to hide, and slow inquisitve. See the green sheen near its face?

One of two buddies there during my watering the front yard plants/garden. It was more active and quick-ranging.

Remember when I spoke of my first place on Pepper Street living in the Old Carriage House in San Luis Obispo where in my first garden I grew Calendula under the stairs in the bright sunlight?

Imagine my surpruse and delight at seeing these two lovelies pop up of their own accord in our new home’s front yard’s entryway. So happy me!

I was just sitting here minding my own business in my car – then had to take off my shoe because the shoe’s lace loop somehow got twisted around the peddle!

I need time to practice and develop my skills further, which I must grant myself. Zoom.for 1/13/99.

Angelic child curled upside down in fetal position.

See his face and open maw jaw?

Zoom a bit…

The root-injured and shocked tree that I kept nursing with water through last year’s hot summer into the fall until the rains came and it could go dormant has survived – and has come back bursting full of life’s energy! WOOT!!!

Stopping outside the Starbucks, in front of me and to the right about 5 feet on the shaded sidewalk next to the busy street, two men with their backs to me were advertising JW. Then I went into the shop and came back out to find these tickets under my windshield wiper focusing on El Diableo and the paranormal. The placer had passed behind them advertising symbolic counterpoint to Jehovah’s Witness messaging! And when I parked outside my bank, these songs were playing next door at a restaurant’s outdoor patio dining: The Laat In Line by Dio; Heaven’s On Fire By Kiss; I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister; Long Live Rock ‘N Roll by Rainbow; and Creatures Of Night by Kiss. Classic.

I saw this lovely on the walking strip outside of a department store with no green, food, nor water in sight and gently fenagled it from its tight grip on the concrete. The sun is out, but the wind is icy chill. Not the best conditions for hatchlings nor parents. So I transported it to a spring paradise!

The stars are so bright tonight, they can even be seen by my not-so-great-at-night phone camera! Zoom around a bit…

Sugar snap peas, mixed alyssum, and purple-white verbena to add to our garden.
