Casey, I would love to go walking with you. You find so many neat places.

2 pics today, taken 3 hours apart. Those Monarchs sure are fast! I didn't see it happen.

Beautiful pictures as always.
Gazania..that would be amazing to watch and photograph.
Here are some of our sky last night...it was just beautiful. Sorry to have more than one photo but the sky was just incredible.

This was taken in Bigfork, Montana. Every business has these hanging out front. They are huge and just beautiful.

Something icky growing out of a dead log.

Starting out with great pics,ladies! Karen, you live in a postcard world. I'm, so glad you share it with us. Gazania - something fun to look forward to now. Taigen - the sky was definitely worth three pics.

I saw some pink out of the corner of my eye yesterday morning, and lo and behold, I have this leafless lily blooming. I don't even rememer planting it, although I've always thought they were neat. Mine is much shorter than any others I've seen, though.

Love all the pics, but the beach makes me yearn for a beach vacation.

Barb,

Your lily is Lycoris Squamigera. It is one of the very few, if not the only Lycoris that is hardy enough to overwinter in the ground this far North.

Beautiful photos everyone. Thanks for sharing.
Taigen - that sky is awesome.

Here's a picture that was taken last year. I ran across it while going through my photos.

Great pics, that beach scene makes me want to go, really bad! Here's one from the wildflower garden.

Go to the beach, Susan? Or go to the bathroom because you saw all that water? LOL

Good pix, everyone!!

All wonderful pictures

OKwriter, that must be some kind of fungus decomposing the log. Beautiful color and shape. Here's a couple more from our Alaska trip:

Mendenhall Glacier.

White Pass & Yukon railway--fabulous train trip. I was hoping the maintenance was very regular on that trestle! Looked a little spindly to me! LOL!

I love these "visual" vacations I get to take every day.....I've said this before, but I really look forward to seeing everyone's pictures....Oh I want to go to the beach!

Compliments of Tropical Storm Fay. This is between my house and a neighbors house. And the rain is still coming down.

My favorite cactus at the LA Arboretum cactus and succulent show on the weekend. I wonder how they made it different colors. Linda

Marilyn, so sorry about all the water. Hope it lets up soon and you and yours are safe and well.

OKWriter, that could be Witch's Butter, a type of fungus.

Gosh, I miss being able to grow all kinds of neat cacti in the southwest. Thanks, Linda.
I had a similar fungus on a log last year.

I think that yellow fungus is called Witches Butter.
