I'd like to direct attention

to the blog of Sleepy Cat Hollow. She has really nice photos. Please enjoy the one of her adorable "mini burning man".* (scroll way down.) I'd like the background story on that one.

This guy is not him.
Think he's OK with that?

People who Prefer Pink

Can find it many places: A tinge on the clouds at sunset...


Pink weeds and plants...

Pink roses in particular.



Someone who prefers pink had occasion to reflect on the value of variety recently. Yes, there is a story to that. No, it won't be told here.
Yellow roses



and flowers

good too.

Summer isn't even technically here yet, and it is already speeding by. I have been too consumed with wall painting to be blogging-figure no one wants to hear about that. The photos prove that is not ALL we've had going on. We did have a graduate. Here he is with his aunt and grandfather.
And pie. With all the sunbeams in town we've had lots of pie. They make lovely fruit pies, cream pies and even pizza pies. Here is the number one Sun with a pudding pie he created.
Mr. Sunny had opportunity to obtain cute Korean clothes (mostly for me and the Sunbeam), in time for the above-mentioned graduation. This picture sums it all up. On the mirror is the spattered paint before it got cleaned up (but, notice how nice the wall looks!) That top is the favorite of the ones from Mr. Sunny (but, not the one worn to the graduation-that was another favorite). And the bulge around the middle? That is the result of the pies.

More of the Local Scene

One thing I like to do with this blog is to showcase some of the natural scenery around here. Of course, sometimes the same spot is more scenic than other times. For example, this is how one of my favorite perches by the river looked a few weeks ago before the weather warmed up.


And
THIS
is
how
it
looked
today!


(If that doesn't boost my readership, probably nothing will!)

Sky Watch Friday



Awesome sky tonight.



I noticed it while out

unsuccessfully trying to get a pic of the lightning.

Gaudily Gorgeous


Give me one reason for a dazzle like this. .
Oh, I remember! It is because Sunny really, really likes reddish leaves in the sun.

Last night's rain

combined with today's sunny good morning,
provided me this view from the upstairs deck.

It was too big to capture the whole thing.

Guess I need wide angle lens.
But, I'd settle for the "pot of gold" at the end of that rainbow!
