There’s a bazillion buds on this plant…whatever it is!

Explored on FLICKR


Although not an indicator of quality, my macro shot of a lily got selected for “Explore” on FLICKR.  It was one of 500 “interesting” photos of May 2nd and FLICKR states over 1.4 million photos are uploaded daily worldwide.

There have been over 11,500 views of the picture so far in 24 hours.  That’s a REAL high volume for me.

Sure wish that many would read my blog. I’ll even settle for a paltry 10,000 views a month. 😜

OK. I’ve finished bragging.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Flowers


First of all, a thank you to Cee from Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge for selecting my shadow pictures as some of her faves last week!

And she selected flowers as the subject for her Fun Foto Challenge of this week:

Well, it was Bloggus Interruptus once again as my kids were with me this past week.  Now that they are again with their mom, it is eerily quiet.  I don’t know if that is good or bad.

Here’s some more snapshots from around the house; I hope one will brighten your day!

My response to “Cee’s Photo Challenge” for the week which was the color salmon.

I thought it would be fun to try.

I sure hope it turns up salmon on your monitor!

Well, my rug rats are with me this week so it’s Blogging Interruptus.

But I did take some snapshots of the flowering succulents in my good neighbor’s yard.

Just Some Snapshots 2


Just some pointless snapshots from around my front yard… Sequel #2.

(I took these while smoking a 58 ring Maduro, by the way…)

All taken with a Canon 75-300mm…handheld with no image stabilization.  Still, not too bad for a shaky ole fart like me. 🙂
