Bayside Marina is closed for half the year, but the off-season is the only time one can pull into the small parking lot without a permit. Behind the locked gate the seagulls had taken over the dock, and they squawked at me when I approached. Off-camera, a young girl in a skimpy outfit, sans coat, was trying to take selfies, but the cold and wind kept driving her back into her car. It was actually ridiculous and funny, but I just took my photos and kept going.

Day 1, Kennedy Anticipating Next K2 Pouncing Attack - IMRAN™
This was technically their second day together, but still the first 24 hours of K2 being home in Apollo Beach. He had already ensured Kennedy understood that peace and quiet were things of the past. While clearly tired, K2 was still eyeing Kennedy, who in turn was observing the mini-me GSD, anticipating his next pouncing move.

Our Daily Challenge: Common Ground
Last week I visited the SD Botanic Gardens with friends. Unfortunately I had a fall and my camera was damaged; I couldn't let all that beauty go to waste so it was time to implement "Plan B", my iPhone!
This image was taken at the San Diego Botanic Gardens. They are having a "Orchid" display until May 3rd. I highly recommend it as the whole exhibit is beautiful.

From "You’re So Vain” by Carly Simon:
"I had some dreams they were clouds in my coffee
Clouds in my coffee,”
I make lattes every morning for Tom and me. I steam the milk the exact same way everyday. Somedays I get a lot of foam and other days very little. As you can see, on this day it was a very foamy day.

Our Daily Challenge: Surreal Changes
Today is Tom’s birthday. Normally we would go out to dinner to celebrate. Instead we had yummy birthday Quarantinis and then drove to one of our favorite restaurants to pick up our celebratory dinner.

Fabulous Florida Picture Perfect Beautiful Blue Tampa Tranquility Smooth Sailing- IMRAN™
#TampaBay #Florida #boating #sailing
If it wasn’t for a boat having just passed by, leaving a wake, the waters of Tampa Bay were still, like a shiny smooth mirror, as I took this No Edit No Filter photo with my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Kennedy and I were riding the Yamaha jet ski off Beer Can Island, south of downtown Tampa. It was a fabulous Florida fall day. The blue sky and blue water were magnificently matching as I aligned dead on with the approaching sailboat to capture this moment.

Our Daily Challenge: On the Windowsill
Today’s challenge was really a challenge for me as my house is built without windowsills. Well.......until I remembered that we created one in our bathroom remodel.
I was trying to back up and capture as much as I could of Kusama's "Narcissus Garden" and the very dramatic sky and clouds stole the show. This installation is at the Native Plant Garden of the New York Botanical Garden, part of Yayoi Kusama's "Cosmic Nature" show. -- April 22, 2021
"Narcissus Garden was first presented in 1966, when Kusama staged an unofficial installation and performance at the 33rd Venice Biennale. The silver spheres, originally made from plastic, were installed on the lawn in front of the Italian Pavilion, reflecting the landscape of the exhibition grounds. Kusama herself stood among them, barefoot and dressed in a gold kimono, alongside yard signs inscribed with the words “Narcissus Garden, Kusama” and “Your Narcissism for Sale.” Throughout the opening day of the exhibition, Kusama remained in the installation, tossing the spheres in the air and offering to sell them to visitors for 1,200 lire (approximately $2) each. The action, which was viewed both as self-promotion and a critique on the commercialization of contemporary art, would later be seen as a pivotal moment in Kusama’s career as she transitioned from installation toward the radical, politically charged public performances that would be the focus of her work in the late 1960s in New York City."

K2 Sleepy Before Road Trip Kennedy Is Always Ready For - IMRAN™
For a barely 8 weeks old puppy, K2 had already had a busy day and night before several hours of fun with Kennedy in Georgia since early morning. We were getting ready to head home to Apollo Beach, Florida. Kennedy, as is his style, was sitting upright and regal. K2, who tends to plop down at every opportunity he can get, was sitting up, but resting his eyes.

Detail of the top of a hand-built pottery piece made up of the faces of 5 women in a circle, their long hair flowing around the ball-shaped piece. The other side was damaged, so I focused on the other three. It was their faces that drew me to the piece in the first place. -- January 4, 2021
Actually, a pretty Rose of Sharon, but it was growing--without permission!--from out of the middle of my mother's hedges, which makes it by definition a weed. she cut it down shortly after this photo, One photo a day. (279/366) -- October 5, 2020

Euphorbia pulcherrima, commonly called poinsettia, is the most widely grown of all shrubby euphorbias. In Mexico it is a straggly deciduous shrub. Inconspicuous yellow flowers are surrounded by large brilliant red floral bracts (modified leaves) in winter through spring. Contrary to conventional wisdom, poinsettia plants are not a poisonous plant. A Ohio State University study showed that a 50 pound child could eat 500 bracts and might have a slight stomach ache. However, the white sap can have allergic properties, especially for people who have latex allergies.
Genus name probably honors Euphorbus, physician to the King of Mauretania.
Specific epithet means pretty.
The common name of poinsettia recognizes Joel R. Poinsette (1775-1851) a gardener, botanist and diplomat from South Carolina who was ambassador to Mexico in 1824. He brought the plant back to South Carolina.
