Prisma De Colores

A spectacular sunset at home that thrilled my 9 year old grand daughter as she watched the colours building then fading.

As Sun rises, silent fog plays in. No sleep in on the Sat morning 😅

A true jewel of Costa Rica!

The vineyards around here are places I love in all seasons but never more than in autumn. This is a photo I took because the fiery colours looked quite spectacular in the morning sun and also because from that angle the vineyard looked like some sort of mysterious maze.

Thank you very much, dear friends.

The last of the Gregg's mistflowers are hanging on, and they're getting quite a bit of attention...

What I believe is a red Daylily from our garden at Mill Pond. Flower IDs are far from my realm of expertise so please correct me if I am wrong. It rained all morning and I was able to get out shortly after the rain stopped. I just like how the center looks so fiery hot.
