Good day or evening, folks.

Another photo from the $5.00 arrangement of various poppies that my wife bought; this one taken yesterday...

   

Or maybe you prefer the composition with the image flipped...

   

Hey there, good Monday Morning to you all.
So, let me start the week's threads with a little humor.
The special assignment for this month's club meeting was Transportation.
I posted the photo of the 1948 Chrysler Town and Country Collage that I showed you last month and the members seemed to like that one.
But this one got a chuckle when it appeared on the screen.
Can you hear the patter patter patter when this Low Carbon Emission Machine took off on the Fred Flintstones Show?

May as well since Saturday is mid afternoon here.

Speaking of mistletoe Something I have a lot of around here. It is all related to the mistletoe bird, which does nest around here and I have taken photographs of that many years ago. Photobucket keeps asking me if I want those photos back but I know I can always find them on some old CD/DVD or scan them off prints or slides. I do have a Flickr album of local mistletoe but I haven't dug out the photos of the birds at the nest yet.

 There is so much to learn about how this parasite and all the Animalia that depend upon it.
ie: The Wattle Acacia homalophylla is known as Yarran and common around me. Upon this Acacia and others is the grey mistletoe using the tree as a host and upon this mistletoe the Spotted Jezebel, Delias aganippe is dependant on this mistletoe as it's host plant.

It's 1:30 AM here and since I'm still awake I might as well start a Friday Daily.

Some of you may recall that one of my favorite roses to photograph is the Ketchup & Mustard Rose. The only place I've seen them was in the front yard of late neighbor and friend Ron, but the current residents of Ron's former home have done absolutely nothing to care for Ron's roses; The last time I saw a K & M rose blossom was nearly 2 years ago.

Until yesterday...

   

The folks living at the end of my block have me puzzled. I seems that every 6 to 9 months different people move in. And each time the vehicles are different. And speaking of vehicles, I'm stunned at how much they must have spent on them. The first group had 2 impressive motorcycles, 2 top-of-the-line pickup trucks, and a gorgeous Audi sports car. The Audi alone cost at least $100,000.

The second group had similarly expensive trucks. and a Cadillac Escalade.

Last month featured more high-end pickup trucks and a beautiful Chevy Corvette.

And now the Corvette is gone and in it's place is this beauty...

   

   

   

I've blurred the badge because it would have revealed the make, but can you guess the make and maybe the model?

Good day or evening, Foto Friends.

A few days ago while grocery shopping my wife saw a poppy she liked. Cost just $5.00.

Yesterday I noticed that, along with 6 or more unopened buds, there was one pretty blossom standing tall right in the middle. The light was pretty good - neither too harsh nor too darkly overcast...

   

I'm a little ahead of the rest of the forum but the last thread was Tuesday so maybe I'll stir some people up to start posting by adding Friday to their weekend?

It is rather flat around here but there are a couple of ranges of low hills.
   

Good day folks.

I think I'll jump on the Taco Tuesday bandwagon today. I have some leftover pulled pork, a fresh batch of homemade salsa, and some shredded Carolina Reaper cheese to start with and I'll pick up shredded lettuce, scallions &  Mexican Crema, and maybe prepare some diced pickled jalapenos.

An unidentified flower from the front yard, taken yesterday and just now processed...

   

Have a good day or night.

Shake, Rattle and Roll, anybody out there besides Dave and I??
Vintage 1964. My first car when I got home from the Navy. A 1958 Chevy Impala.

Here's your Weekender.

The Great Blue Heron is North America's largest heron. This one (taken at a local park in April of 2018 and reprocessed yesterday) is probably full grown; nearly 5 feet (1.5 meters) tall, with a wingspan of 6 feet (1.8 meters), yet it weighs only about 6.4 pounds (2900 grams).

   

You all have yourselves a good weekend.
