omgosh, I think you're right! I didn't know there was a wild variety. These are all over roadsides along here. I so want to get a picture of the sun shining through them, they really shine. Now, I'll have to make sure and pay attention next summer to see the flowers. I never noticed them flowering! And, about your lighthouse Casey.....that is something on my bucket list. I've never been up in a lighthouse! You really really take amazing pictures! What camera/lenses do you use?

Sorry folks....Casey already has a thread started :)

Jan & I have been making an album of our day trips and I have been labelling the photos before printing for the album...here is an example .... . .

I always love the beautiful photos that are shared in this daily thread but don't often take the time to say thank you. I come here almost every morning to see this thread! Exclamation point alert, I use and mean them :-) I love the fall leaves and themes in Casey's offering of the day. Those colors make me happy! Schoolhouse, I absolutely love this scene! Are you fortunate enough to live life looking out that window? I hope so. imgd, I always admire those with the still patience to work jigsaw puzzles. I wish that I took the time to quietly sit and work a lovely puzzle. Murraysmom, where did you get that squirrel jack-o-lantern carver? I bet he's handy to have around! :-) Is that the normal Solomons Seal foliage color? I like it and have heard of it but haven't grown it yet.
