Jim, you got that right. We have a killer goose in our neighborhood. The pair wants to nest in our flower beds and if they do you cannot go out the door until they are gone. He will fly right at your face. We had an 85 year old resident chasing one down the street while trying to get her mail from the box. I warned the mowers to watch our for him and they laughed, said he would be afraid of the mowers. Ha! He drove looking backward because he was after them. This is a better guest. He was half tame.

A barn across from where the fox hunt was this Saturday. and the trailers of all those who attended the hunt.

Beautiful, Casey! The colors are so warm. I love it. Gazania, that must have been a fun puzzle to do. You are the Queen of Puzzlers!! So my picture is from a visit to San Juan Capistrano Mission. There is a large cement pond with carp and water lilies that is just amazing! First is a photo I took there. The second is a mosaic glass piece that I did trying to make it look like a water lily. I'm still not sure I succeeded on that one. :)

Trees bordering a cemetery are nice but there is a downside. In my town, there is a historic cemetery that has maple trees along its front border. Many of the town founders are buried there. I suspect those trees may have contributed to the street name; It is Maple avenue. Those trees are over 100 years old and some have died. Storms occasionally topples one of these trees with monster trunks, and when that happens, tombstones are damaged or wrecked. Old cemeteries I have visited that have endured the best are devoid of deciduous trees. A few shrubs and certain evergreens seem to endure without causing a lot of damage.
