Your lavender Plectranthus is beautiful susanwv! Those 'Mona's seem to bloom forever. Yours is obviously a very happy plant. Great group of photos again today--cool bridge setting, autumn color [sadly lacking here :( ], and fun shots. This neighborhood cat was not very skilled at tree climbing in the first place, and on this day, was getting doubly insulted by an attacking mockingbird. Poor cat; what a rough morning he was having!

Trying to get in all the golf possible before the snow flies... they have random scrambles this time of year. They choose a golf course and time to meet and whoever shows up gets paired up into teams. Today was my 4th such scramble of the season and I've been on the winning team 4 times. :) Here's a shot toward the 9th hole from the parking lot this afternoon as we waited for more people to show up.

After my morning bike ride, I stopped at home and got my panniers, and went to the grocery store. Here is my bike all loaded up: and here is what I bought, all but the tomatoes, I had them in my camelbak and forgot to put them out for the picture. Yep, one can do grocery shopping on ones bike. :) Moni

Lippizzaner horses during a training session at the Lipica stud farm in Slovenia. The trainer was very hard on the young woman who were doing the riding. One of them was on tears afterwards. Sorry the second picture is a bit fuzzy.
