Rufous

Little lovely...this is (I think) a rufous hummingbird; the setting sun is making him/her glow.

We mostly have Anna's hummingbirds in our yard, so it is nice to see that this little dude/dudette has moved in as well.

Orange Bells









Our Australian flame tree is going nuts this year...every other year is a banner year for the flowers/pods (and leaf dropping).

The birds love to sort of hide in its shady branches--there is a little hummingbird there.

Glowing

It is hot and humid here (relatively speaking, I realize!)...this is the reward for all of that subtropical moisture.

Ephemeral Beauty

 These cactus flowers are AMAZING! They are huge, for one thing, and this year there are about a dozen of them. This is a terribly neglected property, but these cacti are thriving. They are so ephemeral...tomorrow they will have wilted and started to fade away.

Thrifty Find

Super cute vintage purse found today at my fave thrift shop (where most of my clothes come from)...it has its little mirror, too. Yay!

I MIGHT have a vintage purse obsession...ahem.

Lizard Up a Tree

This dude skittered up the tree when our neighbor's cat came into our yard--she actually catches lizards all the time (but doesn't kill them, thank god), so I think he was wise to skedaddle!
