Remember, a frog placed in tepid water gradually brought to boil fails to perceive the danger until it's too late.

Macro Mondays - Hazard

Not a jumping cholla, fortunately, but a little intimidating just the same. 

Still Green in Yuma

Lots going on in the garden! We usually keep this paddle cactus cut back because it gets too huge for the space which is almost the case now. Neglect is their best friend; everything is looking healthy!

Where LEDs Grow

in driveway cracks.. wow, did you know?

Yellow

Lensbaby!

Got me a new artsy camera lens, here's one of my first attempts, strawberries forever. It will be fun to play around with, especially with my style of photography. Lensbaby creates a round spot of focus with soft edges, great bokeh, and a painterly effect.

Everyday Food

We love salads, all different kinds.. this one has shrimp topped on a bed of spinach salad. Although shrimp has a bunch of cholesterol, we can have it as a treat now and then right? But salad everyday!!

Christmas in May

Green is the prime color of the world and that from which it's loveliness arises. ~Pedro Calderon de la Barco

it. was. heaven!

New Again

Cleaned my silver chain necklace recently, it had become extremely tarnished. Foil, white vinegar, baking soda, overnight. Some say salt too. Like magic!

Not all Insects are Bugs

All bugs are insects, but not all insects are bugs.

just like people, some are fake phonies.

What You Think, You Become

So, think happy, positive thoughts. Sometimes, when you're me, it takes a whole lifetime to finally figure that out. =)

Dear car beside me,

Thank you for bringing me smiles.

Sprinkler Effect

Don't get to see daffodils around here too much. Dunno, people just don't plant them, but these

beauties have caught my eye every time we drive by the last few days. Spring has sprung at 7,000'. Now that I see it's possible, in time, I will definitely try them and other bulbs as well.

btw

I'm out of the 'she shed' office for a few.. "upgrades".

Night After Night

sunset is my favorite color
