Two invasive species in the same flower bed equals strong tensions and infighting. The struggle is real!!!
A Morning Glory vine embraces the flower of a Mexican Petunia.
This time the gates were open to the courtyard at the, now closed, Velvet Cactus restaurant from the last shot. Inside, I found this colorful bit of garden bling.
With just slightly cooler weather, it's Gardenia time again. Did you know that Gardenias were part of the coffee family of plants?!!
For the first time this year, the humidity was so high that my glasses, along with my camera lens, immediately fogged up as I opened the door this morning. You can almost see the heaviness of the atmosphere in this photo, taken after a long wait for my lens to de-fog.
A good Thursday morning to 'ya.
A new flower bud, before it opens into the brilliant red of a Texas Star hibiscus bloom. As the bud is roughly 1 1/2" tall, this just barely passes as a macro shot.
Have a good day, all.
Another view of my neighbor's Red Spider Lilies from the morning of the Autumnal Equinox. Have a great day, all!
The butterflies seem to love the Star of Texas blooms. It's hard to walk past without taking a shot or three.
This is the second of two old cars I found in the woods. The first one, that I posted earlier, I thought was a Plymouth Fury from around '59. It looks closely related to Christine, of Stephen King fame.
I discovered this morning, though, that it and this car are related, as both are of the Dodge DeSoto line. Apparently, whoever abandoned these autos was a DeSoto fan. This one is circa 1950.

Just a brief detour from the usual ruins, rocks, and sheep for a bit of 'art'. Taken on the same road featured in a previous post outside Mulranny, Co. Mayo, Ireland, I've boosted the amp up to eleven and modified the image in Lightroom and a touch of Photoshop. OK, everybody sing along...
I've been drivin' all night
My hand's wet on the wheel
There's a voice in my head
That drives my heel
It's my baby callin'
Says: I need you here
And it's a half past four
And I'm shifting gear
When she is lonely
And the longing gets too much
She sends a cable
Coming in from above
Don't need no phone at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a wave in the air
Radar Love
The radio's playing some forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
The road has got me hypnotized
And I'm speeding into a new sunrise
When I get lonely
And I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort
Comin' in from above
Don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
Radar Love
No more speed, I'm almost there
Gotta keep cool now, gotta take care
Last car to pass, here I go
And the line of cars drove down real slow
And the radio played that forgotten song
Brenda Lee's "Coming On Strong"
And the newsman sang his same song
One more radar love is gone
When I get lonely and I'm sure I've had enough
She sends her comfort, coming in from above
We don't need no letter at all
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a line in the sky
We've got a thing that's called Radar Love
We've got a thing that's called
Radar Love

Apologies for my absence lately; I don't have as much time for Flickr at the moment as I would like to ... it turns out that 2024 will most likely going to be a bit bumpy and challenging at work. So I might be absent for some days every now and then.
I hope you are all doing fine ♡
And yes, I am longing for springtime and sunshine, too !
Happy (Flare) Friday ... and let's embrace imperfection : ))
The pigs, that is. Judging by the small size of this fenced area, I am assuming it was once used as a pig pen.
Smell that? That's pig slop. I love the smell of pig slop in the morning. ;)
HFF!!!
I wish those golden reflections were Fall foliage, but no...just some really bright, early morning light.
Cooler weather is on the way, though!
I didn't take many shots last year, but I have a few that I need to upload, so bear with me. Most are just random nature shots that I want to keep a record of.
Technically, not the best photo, but there is something I really love about this one.

We usually save the burn pile for Christmas, but we're expecting rain on Christmas Day and the pile just keeps on getting bigger.
Just in case...Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays to you all!!!
In a country far from yours, children are taught to balance 10 nuts with chopsticks before starting to eat. This forces the child to act with mindfulness before eating and predisposes him to eat with mindfulness as well. (Otherwise, they would eat the nuts without opening them.)
As many photos as I have of Irises, I can't let a Spring pass without taking a few more.
Have a great Monday, folks!
After all the searing heat we've had, we are getting a small bit of relief this week with a wave of lower humidity and slightly lower temperatures. I don't know if that is why, but the Gardenias have begun to bloom again.
I noticed the smell before I saw them.

The closer you get to the Gulf of Mexico, the more you realize what it means for New Orleans to be under sea level. This is part of the wetlands of New Orleans East.
Yep, I'm digging in the archives... :)

I've been shooting at this usually swampy area a lot, because it's a rare opportunity to get closer to the cypress trees that grow here. What is usually 6" to a foot of water is literally dry enough to walk on.
Even the mighty Mississippi River is at record-setting low water levels, because of the long lasting drought. My Flickr friends up north may have some supply issues this Winter, because of this.
