September 13th - Long Unused Railroad Track

Long unused railroad track. My one and only photo I took today. I had a bad day. There was anger and exhaustion involved. :P

September 11th - Flower Scene

Sorry about this, but I just had no good shots today. :P Too busy working, then napping, then eating out because I was too tired to cook. Another (fake) watercolor for your (hopefully) viewing pleasure.

February 3rd - C is for...Construction!



C is really for "Cutting it close!" I almost didn't get this photo officially posted on the 3rd, but made it by the skin of my teeth! Lol. I wasn't home all day, and then the computer started that sloooowwww thing, again. Argh!
Anyway, this photo is of some construction at school, they're putting in a new staircase, I think. Possibly just a new walkway.

January 28th - 2mp Cell phone shots, today


A pink flower I found on a walk today. This was taken with my cell phone's 2mp camera, which doesn't do well with closeups, hence the blurry flower. And, this one too:



This is miner's lettuce. I remember picking this when I was a kid, on a field trip in school, and eating it raw. I read about it a couple of years ago, and one of the things I read was that miner's used to eat it raw or cook it like spinach. So, my kid and I picked some and cooked it and tried it. Blech! Much better raw, in salads. :P Cute little flower in the middle, eh? :)

January 27th - Bottle brush


This is a bottle brush plant. I used to live in a house when I was 7 that had a front yard lined with these. Bees love these bushes, and that's when I learned how to hold perfectly still when a bee lands on you. I've still never been stung (knock on wood). :) I love these flowers, they're so pretty. If you pull out a bit of the red "petals" sometimes you can get some nectar. Yum. ;)

July 26th - Thorns


Just some thorns from my dormant Fuchsia Gooseberry bush. Scary looking, ain't it?! :)
