No flowers here. But two cardinals for the price of one...I wonder what they are watching? Ahh, that explains it! It's gymnastics time! I give her a 9!

Caflowerlover, I have an old snowfire bush, at least 40 years old. Not my favorite, but it's one tough bush, isn't it? Lots of stickers. Here's penstemon blooming in a local botanical garden. Another two-tone flower.

Isn't it usual that when people share a photo of a restaurant item, either in a post or email, it's a photo taken of what was served to them? Not necessarily. What does it matter? Whether you know it or not, your words are unnecessarily critical and somewhat hurtful. What difference does it make whether there is bread or croissant? People often use stock photos to depict something they are talking about. It makes no difference.

Jim, we went through the canal in January and somehow I missed seeing that lighthouse. I'll blame it on trying to see over all the bodies that were also trying to see what was going on. We were out on deck by 7:00a.m. and that still wasn't early enough - the early birds beat us to all the good spots!
