Gazania, I didn't know anything about Richard Teague before you just told us, but I looked him up and he was an extraordinary guy! So interesting and a subject I know absolutely nothing about. It's funny how something like a car, an everyday item, could have such an interesting and crazy kind of existence. I don't think I will look at another car in the same way ever again. Of course I knew people designed cars, but I never knew what all went into that process. Fascinating. And to think your cute little Pacer started it all for me. Thanks. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_A._Teague

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.

I knew it was going to get cold in Oklahoma. We were worried about our house there, had the outside winterized and the propane tank filled. Stay warm! Nicole again just beautiful.

gyr_falcon - not sure if that's a spiral staircase, or something re-purposed as a sculpture. The woman who owns the house is very creative and has a lovely garden with some eclectic items, such as the blue bike!
