Parking in Rear

 

I love this sign: the angle, the fact that "parking" is as prominent as "liquor," and of course, the arrow!

Redux

 

This waxed amaryllis bulb is particularly amazing. It has sent up this amazing flower stalk again. Below is the first bloom, back in December. Wow! (The other two bulbs have also sent up new flower stalks...we'll see what results.)

Wings

 

I almost see wings here...I think.

And Stuff


 I love everything about this: it's an arrow, it's neon, the palm tree behind...and of course, the "& stuff" part of the name. It's perfect!

Some Trees

 







These were all taken last week during our fun road trip to Lake Arrowhead.

Just Ducky (and Cooty)

 

Many waterfowl at Lake Arrowhead, including some mallards, cinnamon teals, and many many American coots (birds with white beaks). Quack quack!

World's Largest...

 

...paper cup! (Which, obviously, is made of concrete.)

Heart Day

 

Today is our 39th wedding anniversary...it seems like not so very long ago that we said "I do." And we still do!!!

We hiked to this heart rock near Lake Arrowhead. Sweet! 

I also saw a rock that looks rather heart-like, and when I moved the rock next to it to get a better shot, the dampness beneath it also looks a bit like a heart. It's Heart Day, after all! 




And Happy Valentine's Day!

At the Lake

 

Lake Arrowhead! When I sent this photo to a friend, she described this as a "hobbit chalet." Yes! It's super cute.

Frondy

 

The recent storms here knocked a bunch of palm frond bits off of the tree next door (fortunately, they missed our cars).

This is delicious pistachio cake (at a cafe). Um, yum!

Electric

 

This finch is wondering why that redbud leaf is all lit up...

Ornamental


Really pretty ornamental kale as a cut flower; I have grown it in my garden before, but I never cut it for a vase. (This came from Trader Joe's...)
