Our guide in Madeira warned us repeatedly about some common plant on the island that if you touch it and subsequently rub your eyes, it can cause blindness. However he never made it clear exactly which plant he was referring to. He seemed to be pointing at a cactus-y looking plant like in the bottom left of Jim's picture, but the guide may have been pointing to the plant next to the cactus-y one. I took this picture of where the guide was pointing, but I don't know which one is the bad one. It also sounded like he was saying the plant was a "Euphoria"

Nicole, your hummer is outstanding. I love how the color of the zinnia is reflected on the bird. Party, your dinner is so colorful. It looks delicious. Mine is a picture of the clouds from a day in July. The first sunny day after weeks of rain.

Almost stepped on this guy as I was doing yard work this morning. I let out quite a scream.

Lo-o-o-o-o-oo-o-o-ve those Budweiser Clydesdales! ! They were here for several days a few years ago, in conjunction with an air show, the Blue Angels. Rusty
