Alyssum flowers in a planter's box sitting on our balcony. This was taken through the ceiling to floor glass window hence the unusual looking bokeh...almost like a lens baby effect.
Many thanks for your visit, comments, invites and faves..it is always appreciated.

I was eating my breakfast when I noticed a squirrel bound up on one of our planter boxes and look over the flowers. Suddenly he grabbed the biggest pansy blossom and ate it slowly, the way I try to eat chocolate ice cream.
Petunia is a genus in the family Solanaceae, subfamily Petunioideae. Well known members of Solanaceae in other subfamilies include tobacco (subfamily Nicotianoideae), and the cape gooseberry, tomato, potato, deadly nightshade and chili pepper (subfamily Solanoideae). It's a flowering plant of South American origin. Petunias can tolerate relatively harsh conditions and hot climates, but not frost. They need at least five hours of sunlight every day and flourish in moist soil and conditions of low atmospheric humidity. Petunias are generally insect pollinated. The Maya and Inca believed that the scent of petunias had the power to ward off underworld monsters and spirits. Their flower-buds were bunched together for magical drinks. 50330
HAPPY SLIDERS SUNDAY !!
Yes, I did some sliding toward the max.
However the colors of many buildings in Alsace
are close to the max all by themselves.
I think a caption with a little humor in it is in the spirit of Sliders Sunday.
Location: Eguisheim, Alsace FR.

Narai-juku was a post town roughly half-way along the Nakasendo route which ran between Kyoto and Tokyo during the Edo Period. It is now a designated Architectural Preservation Site, and retains many carefully preserved houses and businesses from that era. I particularly loved the carefully maintained facades of the buildings which line the main street.

the focusing mechanism sound amuses me wiz wiz :-)
playing around with my new/old Minolta Maxxum 7000. Program mode and auto-focus is quite a departure for me compared to the cameras I use, and the way I shoot.
