We went to the home improvement center today to get a few supplies to take Home. While we were in the garden shop I saw these nice pink columbines blooming. Click on the image to enlarge.
Unlimited Arrogance
Ramirez’ latest cartoon illustrates how completely out of touch the Conspirator-in-Chief is with the principles upon which America was founded . . .
The Light From Within
Happy Easter! This is a repeat of an Easter lily photo I posted back in 2007 . . .
This photo of an Easter Lily is unretouched other than cropping and resizing. A sunbeam coming through the window over the staircase hit this flower at just the right angle and place to make it look as though the inside of the flower was producing the light.
A White and Red Amaryllis
I have several gorgeous amaryllis flowers opening this weekend. This one is brilliant red and white. I have another one that is pure red that will be opening very soon. Click on the image to enlarge.
The California Garden
We’re back at Casa Grande* for Easter weekend. When we arrived yesterday, we were surprised at how well the garden was doing with virtually no attention for over a month. The poppies were going crazy with their bright orange flowers and the artichoke had produced these wonderful flower buds, one of which we’re going to steam early next week and eat it for lunch.

* We’re now in to referring to the 2700 square foot two story house in California as Casa Grande (Big House) as opposed to the little Arizona home which we now call Casa Bonita (Pretty House).
Spring Cactus Flowers
Spring has sprung in the desert! The high temperatures here over the past several days have been between 80 and 95 degrees and the cacti flowers have been popping open like crazy. This slideshow is a sample of the flowers that I have photographed over the past few days. You can pause the slideshow by rolling your mouse over the images and resume by rolling out.
