Absolutely beautiful! I really liked Chocolate Cherry Dreams and Bluegrass Music. Can't do the light blues here, so I admire those but can't get excited about them. Your pic of BYM made thrilled me...thrips or not it is lovely. Added her to my garden this year and can't wait to see if she makes a showing! Julie

Flaurabunda, it's so funny you mentioned cameras. I was reloading some ancient photos into Facebook last night and it's quite startling to see how much my photo-taking has changed. Back in 2009 (the year of Gemini), I did not know how to handle my camera with the right sun exposures but even so Gemini was always beautiful; to this day save for Folklore and with Penny Lane (growing in sunlight) I've never seen a more perfectly formed rose. Kansas heat ruins rose shapes save for those 2 roses. Gemini always looked good no matter what the lighting; constantly spiraling, and your photo just reminded me so much of what she once was before she died. I loved that rose so much and she was a sport-fragranced one too. Double the Agony of losing her.... I'm afraid to get any other Gemini save from J&P because so few Gemini's have the deep coral, and I still hope to find one just like it.... I also check my local nursery but no dark coral Gemini yet...I bet you are probably being "too modest" or not breaking the hard truth for fear it'd make me "insane with grief" lol. Anyway, your photo of her was very "Haunting" and beautiful-- I felt like it was seeing her all over again.... I also forgot to say, I love your "Wall of Fire". Just brilliant! :D

these are all flight attendant co-workers...Three are already retired...the rest of us are still pluggin along...with a combined total of 162 years seniority...The girls on the back row right are Mom and Daughter...how cool is that to have your daughter working along side of you! I'm the one on the bottom row...second from left! The lady right behind me was in my training class and we lived together after we started working for a couple of years...we've been buds for 32 plus years! Lydia I posted a couple of weeks ago about trying to find bowls to work for Chili and Veggie soup cause I was worried my plastic bowls would melt...They worked fine along with the 10 ceramic ones I found at Kroger of all places!!

Wonderful pictures! Wonderful country! Thanks for sharing. You did not happen to go home through Evanston, Wyoming via Star Valley to Cokeville, did you? If so, you drove through my town! Ack! An opportunity to meet and visit...MISSED! Glad you had a good time. Lori
