Dean just returned from Osaka, Japan & Shanghai, China. This is a pic of 'downtown' Osaka at about 4:00 in the morning.

Rita, I think they are space alien eyes that you captured with the magic of digital photography. You could finance your retirement by selling this picture to one of the tabloids.

Marigene, that's lovely. Mine are in bud . . . I'll go tell them to hurry up so they look like yours.

Sandy, that's a trip and a half! Looks like lots of activity for 4:00 a.m. I forget what cities are like.

From downtown Osaka to a rural Pennsylvania garden . . . here's a cucumber leaf covered in dew this morning.

Beautiful variety today everyone.....heres a little squirrel sittin' in a tulip bed.......

Two photos from a Ranch Rodeo last month in Woodruff:

This was supposed to be a red dwarf crepe myrtle. It bloomed light purple and then white.

I am being a copycat today. lol These bleeding hearts are in my Aunt Ruby's yard, in Montana. We are in Montana until the middle of next week. I am loving life right now!!

Forgot to add:

I like the shotgun shell effect.
I have no clue why it's there but I like it.
Maybe it's the pattern of the explosion?
Like, the pattern of buckshot when it's shot out of the shotgun?

Lori

The shotgun shells and the squirrel are wonderful!

Work has been hectic lately and I'm late gettin' here.

Jaybird and Okwriter - I just reopened an account with photo bucket and only managed to upload a few pictures. I will post a few more pics of my patriotic themed guestroom tomorrow.

Kathi - I could easily start filling the rest of my home with Red, White, and Blue. I love your Uncle Sam and the hanging quilt. Did you make the quilt?

Patti - Post a few pics of your items. Like others, I love seeing peoples collections and treasures.

Kim

Oh Lori, your nephew is so precious. I want to give him a hug too, and buy us an ice cream cone.

Kim,
Yes i made the quilt,and the uncle sam on the porch i got at a yard sale several years ago for 3.00.When you turn him over it's an easter bunny.So in spring i display the bunny,til after easter,then turn him over to uncle sam.

I still have several more patriotic cross stitch things to put up,but i have to wait til i recover from surgery.I also recently started adding Red to my kitchen so i can carry the R/W/&B out there as well.

Can't wait to see your other things.
Kathi

I love that blue front door! Is your porch blue, too?
