Love the snake, Bob. They are such misunderstood creatures. I also have a soft spot for spiders. This one has taken up residence on an Elephant Ear leaf. I believe that is his belly side we are looking at. This post was edited by gazania on Fri, Aug 29, 14 at 17:34

Yep, susan, here is a sunflower and it's bee. This approx. 4x8 spot where DH cleans out the bird feeders onto a weed dumping area out back has yielded a beautiful bunch of sunflowers. Some are at least 8 foot tall.

Rusty, I live in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada. That trail is called North Head Trail although most people just call it the Signal Hill Trail. It winds around Signal Hill. It's quite steep in places but at least there are stairs to climb. I typically start at the bottom of the hill (on the other side) and walk up the road to the top, then take the trail back down. Many, many people jog this trail but I am not a runner. It looks worse than it actually is, although there are no rails, only a few steps with handrails. In one section where the trails is especially narrow and steep there is a chain bolted to the cliff face so you can hang on to it. I rarely do, quicker to just go without holding onto the chain. It usually takes me 48 minutes to do the entire trail. I haven't done it much this year because I've been doing other trails but last summer I used to do it 3 or 4 times a week. It's a great workout!
