Hello all and welcome to the final weekend and days of April.  
Have a little road trip ahead for a Holy Communion party today.
See you all later.

Enjoy the weekend.

I know you have seen this rope wrapped around this wooden post before, but I take a photo of it every year when I go on my walks in Florida.  It is still holding fast and getting more character and interest as the years go by.  So, because I have nothing else new to show you, I thought I would post this image.

Have a good Thursday.  Off to do a favor for a friend.
See you all later,
LORELL

Here's a colorful sunrise taken in January 2018. I probably overdid it with the color intensity, but that's what appealed to me about the scene, so why not?

   

Hello all.

I'm running low on new photos to share.

Here's one from 8 days ago; another look at the uncommon white-petal variety of the usually vivid orange California Poppy...

   

I wish we had more activity on this site.

And I wish you all a good day or evening.

Good Morning all,
And welcome to the final week of April.  Funny how fast it all goes by now, right?
Going out to dinner with the gals tonight but taking the time right now to start this week off with a new thread. 

All the talk about AI has me spooked lately.
Is this when it all started?  
At least these were safe, they needed to be wound up in order to go or batteries that did not last forever.  It is a scary world out there.

Several days ago Lorell posted a photo that she took to fit the theme of shooting a flower through the petals of another flower.

Since then, I've been looking for an opportunity to do the same.

Here's one I took yesterday; it's not as good as Lorell's, but I do like the effect along the bottom that is almost like a multiple exposure image...

   

Greetings all!
Well the calendar says spring but in the last week we have had 2 summer days we needed the AC, a couple of cold spring days we needed the heat on and now, back to winter. Typical for us. We have had snow and cold up into May.

I have time to start a Daily, so why not?

California poppies are typically lovely vibrant orange flowers, but there is a white variant (actually a mutation that persists in the poppy gene pool as a recessive gene).

Among the hundreds of poppies that blossomed in my yard are tow of this white variant...

   

Good day, everyone (all 4 or 5 of us).

Our heavier than usual spring rains made it an exceptionally fine year for the California poppies. I've been taking as many photos as possible of the poppies in the front yard before the show is over.

Here's one taken yesterday; I'm not sure if it will appear overly saturated but I'll make my guess as to which of the versions is best...
