Baby sitting the granddog today...she always makes me remember this NON SEQUITUR cartoon. Not so funny when you think of recent happenings in today's world.

I like these little petunia-like flowers--Calibrachoa, I think.

My first-ever fuchsia!

Beautiful photos today! I love your garden gate, Nicole. I'm coming right over to see it in person! LOL! This is a huge wisteria vine at Kew Gardens, London. The vine was trained to grow into a large sphere, forming a "room." Benches have been placed inside where people can sit, and one can be seen on the right-hand side of the photo.

stacey....thank you! DH & I made it a few years back. Those are arrow head(remember when southwest was in?) curtain finials on the top. :0)

gyr--I must be the dumb one here. What in the word is that? A giant slug?

Socks,no you aren't,i can't figure out what it is either.Beautiful pictures everyone..

Maybe a slug made out of pottery? It looks too perfect to be a real one. :)

A couple of pics from a trip to northern California.

Sorry for the late reply, Yes, it is a slug I photographed during an Oregon and Washington trip. I believe it is one of the introduced species.

OMG!!! That thing was real???? Ick! How big was it??

Oh....I thought it was pretty. Rather reminded me of a hedgehog. He was about 3.5-4" sprawled, but in the photo he is just leaving protective "hunch mode". Obviously, I don't know the correct term for that. lol
