Anyone ready for this yet.....;) Brrr.

Yeah.....I like Christmas.......snow, too.

storm last night took my castor bean plants down, and I had the highest water in my street yet... that I can see.... look at the line of leaves.

The deer are feasting on my McIntosh apple drops, but oh, those flies!

Another Garfield. This one at the local library.

Nicole, I love your flickers!! Great shot and good eye to see them.

Moni, yikes!! That water came up pretty far. Hopefully it receded as fast as it rose!

These are Northern California coastal flowers.

Very high surf this week at the beach, a nor'easter without the rain.

Murraysmom I have no idea, cause it happened after 11 PM and I was sleeping. But prior, there was a WHOLE lot of wind, and there is a lot of damage because of it. Schools and stores are closed, cause the power is out.

I was lucky, cause less than a 1/8th mile is a major intersection and everything around it is closed.

Some just because roses my husband got me last week. I forgot to take pictures right away. Here they are from yesterday starting to wilt a little bit. Still beautiful.

Just because...no matter the season, I always get pleasure from the view thru this window

Alisande....we had flies like that, where I was living last year, against the mountains. I think they "feed" on the deer......

Nicole, I'm sure they do--and ticks feed on them as well. Some people around here blame the deer for the tick population (and indeed they do carry them), but the deer are victims of the ticks, just as we are.
