I found these beauties in her yard a while ago!
  More gorgeous evidence of her incredible 'green thumb'!!  

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GAYSIE MAE!!

I've included this image in: My Sister's Garden.

(The purple is Lobelia; flowers are @ 1/2".  The red is Begonia(?); flowers are @ 1 1/2".)

A 'fun in the West' place to go,
AndreaKaus took me to Norco!!
 
Accessorized, and lookin' fine,
She showed me a really fun time!
 
Our cameras each carried a big memory stick
We realized quite soon, our time was too quick!
 
Meeting again soon, are plans that we've made
A summer visit to my turf; we'll play in the shade!
 
Thanks Andrea, 'twas really fun,
A wonderful new friend, I feel I have won!

Ladies Camping Trip

We have many different varieties of Iris in the landscape of our yard. They are one of the few flowers which apparently aren't 'Deer Candy'!
This is the first one of the season to show her pretty smiling face!

The TBD Challenge...11/24/08
The Challenge: Create a photo with your interpretation of the letters, "TBD."."
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Karina Boese, jawsnap, Creative Deviance,Johnloguk, Al Sharp, and myself. 
The Result: Tiny Bells Dazzling!

I wanted to create this one, after thinking about 'TBD' for a while!! (These bells are @3/4" long)
 However, I knew that I already had two images (taken earlier this month) which I could use for choice!  I liked them as well, and they were so fitting for this challenge, that I've  also posted both of them in my Contender gallery!

And this is our favorite mudhole!! (Yesterday I shared 'our favorite swimmin' hole!)
Definitely a favorite activity during the Ladies Camping Trip!! This incredible mud has the consistency of warm chocolate pudding!!  
After we're totally covered, we get out and bake in the sun on one of the  warm granite boulders!!  After rinsing it off, our skin is smooth as silk! 

This group of friends does have a Tribal name: Mud Mamas!! 
 Any of our buddies that haven't yet gone on the campin' trip are Mud Mama Wannabe's!  This year, we had 16 in attendance!

I did use my tripod and the timer for this shot!  Was quite the challenge for me to get back into the water and into position in time!!

There's another Mud Mamas group shot in my Contender gallery!

 My attempts at getting a good shot of a Hummingbird haven't proved sharp enough....yet! 
I've also found that I begin to run out of patience waiting for them to come back!!
 So, I decided a little PS practice would be fun!

I included another shot, and PS practice, in my Contender Gallery

Back from another MIA!!
Just returned from our annual 'Ladies Camping Trip'!!!

Oh, my, my!  We did have a marvelous time!

This is one of our favorite destinations; the reward at the end of a wonderful hike.

Am still unloading the camping gear, and haven't had the priviledge of looking 
through the Dailies for quite a while :(
I'm hoping to do so tomorrow, and see how y'all are doing!
I've missed you!  Blessings to all !
