Pink Elephant

 

I just LOVE this sign! 

And at the link here, you can see the neon lit up. They don't make them like this anymore!

Squeeee!

 

That thing where you buy a pattern at an estate sale and look inside to find not one, not two, but THREE Vogue sew-in labels! Whaaaat? So cool!

(For those who might not know, in the sixties and seventies, Vogue made cloth sew-in labels for their various "lines"--Vogue Paris Original, Vogue Young Fashionables, Vogue American Designer, and a few more--that you could ask for at the counter in your local fabric shop [the late, lamented freestanding fabric shop!] when you bought a Vogue pattern.) 

P.S. I love the vaguely Twiggy-esque model!

Redonk Ranunc(ulus)

 

They are amazing...they look as if they are made of paper.

Daffs Daffs Daffs

 

A very sweet person left these on the front porch...

I love daffodils, such happy spring-y flowers!

Thirsty SKWERL!!!!

 This little dude/dudette was very very thirsty...

Desert A'Bloomin

 

On a long and incredibly boring desert drive, the desert wildflowers blooming are a welcome (and beautiful!) sight...

Jemima? Jemima Puddleduck? Is that you?

Gorgeous! The desert is a'bloom...

LOL

 

Along the road... not PC, but funny in an eight-year-old humor kinda way!

Wow

I was gifted these fantastic vintage watering can for my birthday from my very dear friend. It's huge, and I love it.
 

Not the best photo (oops), but you can see it there on the far right with its smaller brethren. So cool! Thank you, Miss W.!

Hi

 

Alpaca faces!

How sweet is this drawing of the pets owned by the baristas at the Yuma Starbucks. Love it--and someone has a pet pig!

Be Still, My Heart

 Sandhill. Cranes. O.M.G. 

Totally unexpectedly, there they were, in Albuquerque. 

(While it looks as if they are captive/behind wire, they were actually standing on a small pile of dirt, which happened to be behind a wire fence meant to contain chickens, I think...)

These pix were shot from across a field, at dusk, BTW...not too bad, fancy camera (which I totally do not know how to properly use yet).

Scenes from Today...

 

This guy--sort of a homemade Muffler Man?--in Albuquerque...

One of my favorite Muffler Men, holding a small RV, in Hatch...

This dramatic sky, somewhere in Arizona...

And this marvelous sign in Tucson.
